The Crimson Tide shot 44 free throws, but hit just 29. The 3-point shooting was off, too, as Alabama hit 6 of 31 from long range. Alabama was fortunate the Red Wolves were equally unimpressive in those categories, going 23 of 36 from the line and 6 of 28 from 3-point range.

When Alabama basketball hosted Arkansas State last December, the Red Wolves returned to Jonesboro with a 20-point loss. That wasn't the case in Friday's rematch.

Here are 13 takeaways from the rematch: Alabama listed guards Labaron Philon and Mark Sears, forward Jarin Stevenson and Derrion Reid, along with center Clifford Omoruyi. Arkansas State starters included guards Derrian Ford, Taryn Todd and Terrance Ford Jr. with Rashaud Marshall and Kobe Julien at forward.
