Impact Sears was listed as probable in Friday's edition of the SEC injury report, so his upgrade to available isn't entirely surprising.

Mark Sears - Likely to play Saturday Sears (undisclosed) is probable to play against Tennessee on Saturday.
Impact The extent of the injury is uncertain, but the fact that Sears is listed as probable suggests he should handle his regular workload as one of the Crimson Tide's primary offensive weapons. Sears, who's coming off a 21-point, 10-assist effort in the win over Mississippi State on Tuesday, is averaging 21.9 points, 2.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game since the beginning of February.

Mouhamed Dioubate - Records double-double in laugher Dioubate had 10 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 111-73 win over Mississippi State.
Impact Dioubate was efficient from the field and also pulled down 11 rebounds for his second double-double in three games. He did so without committing a single foul over 17 minutes, and his post presence off the bench was a big key in helping Alabama dominate the Bulldogs. The Crimson Tide were firing on all cylinders Tuesday night, an Dioubate was no exception.

Aden Holloway - Five dimes in win Holloway had 13 points (4-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, five assists and two steals over 23 minutes during Tuesday's 111-73 win over Mississippi State.
Impact Unsurprisingly, there was plenty of scoring to go around in Alabama's 38-point blowout win over Mississippi State, and Holloway was one of the main facilitators for the Crimson Tide, dishing out five assists. He also scored 13 points to mark his 10th straight game scoring in double figures, continuing the longest stretch of his career. Holloway will remain a key piece off the bench for Alabama.

Impact Youngblood's 27 point were easily his most in an Alabama jersey. The senior drained a staggering seven three-pointers and was perfect from the charity stripe as part of Alabama's obscene 38-point drubbing of Mississippi State. It was simply an offensive explosion in Tuscaloosa, and Youngblood's sizzling shot was one of the main reasons why.
