TUSCALOOSA | By the time the University of Alabama basketball team gets off its flight to New York on Sunday, it will be one of just eight teams in the country still playing college basketball.
However, Crimson Tide senior forward Chris Hines says UA isn't carrying forward a grudge over its NCAA selection snub as it heads to the NIT semifinals at Madison Square Garden. Alabama will play the second game of the NIT doubleheader Tuesday night against Colorado (24-13).
"We're not trying to show anybody anything," Hines said before the Tide went to practice on Friday. "We just want to win for ourselves, like we've been doing. Just play good defense and win a championship."
That's precisely what the Crimson Tide will need to do against the high-scoring Buffalos. Colorado ranks No. 11 among all Division I teams in scoring, averaging 80.1 points per contest. Alabama, by comparison, is 215th in scoring offense.
