This from ESPN reporting:
Apparently the coaching staff allowed the players to "sleep in" on the day of their loss to Northeastern.
After that, though, they woke the players at 7:30 a.m. EST every day and got them to the gym.
After a disappointing start, Alabama finished exactly how coach Avery Johnson wanted.
The Crimson Tide (4-1) recovered from losing a 13-point lead to outlast Wichita State 90-86 and finish fifth at the eight-team Charleston Classic on Sunday.
Kira Lewis Jr. had 24 points and Alex Reese 19 for Alabama.
It was their second straight victory here after a lackluster showing in a loss to Northeastern to start things Thursday.
"Sometimes your bad luck is your good luck," Johnson said, sharing something he's heard several times from a friend.
The early tournament loss, Johnson believes, got his players' full focus for the rest of their run at TD Arena. Not that the coaching staff didn't do their part, too.
After allowing the team to sleep in before the first game, Johnson woke them up a 7:30 a.m. (6:30 central time) and got them in the gym.
The tactics certainly worked.
