Alabama defeats NC State 82-75

Richard Hendrix was the big star of the game scoring 23 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. The win keeps the 10th ranked Alabama Crimson Tide on course for the start of the SEC season. The team shows potential, but must improve to make a real and sustained run to the Final Four.

Ronald Steele's knee problems are a concern. According to the Birmingham News, Star point guard Ronald Steele shrugged off recent ankle and knee injuries to start Wednesday, but he went to the bench late in the game with cramps in his left calf muscle. Missing its leader, the Tide couldn't convincingly put the Wolfpack away.

The road win over an ACC team should help the team come tournament time in March when the bids and seeding are done.
