TUSCALOOSA, Ala. | The Alabama men's basketball team used a big second-half run and was able to hang on to defeat No. 13/16 LSU, 70-67, Wednesday night inside Coleman Coliseum.

Junior guard Jahvon Quinerly added 17 points off the bench while senior guard Keon Ellis had 12 points, a team-leading eight rebounds, and three steals in the victory.
