Fills up stat sheet Philon registered 29 points (10-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and three steals across 36 minutes during Friday's 90-70 victory over Hofstra.

Impact Philon has scored 21 points or more in his last five games, but had not had more than four assists in the previous four contests. He was able to do it all against the Pride and will look to lead the Crimson Tide past Texas Tech on Sunday. Alabama made the Elite Eight last year and are looking to return. With Aden Holloway no longer part of the team, Philon should command the ball even more.

In his last four games, the 6-4 sophomore has scored 24.5 points on 54.8 percent from the field and 50.0 percent on 3-pointers. He should be poised for a strong run in the NCAA Tournament.

Nails go-ahead bucket against Vols Philon produced 23 points (9-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound and two assists in 28 minutes during Saturday's 71-69 win over Tennessee.

Impact After missing Wednesday's game against Mississippi State with an undisclosed injury, Philon came off the bench here for the first time all season, but he ended up seeing a relatively typical workload. He was second on the team with 23 points and even hit the go-ahead jumper with 22.8 seconds remaining to cap off Alabama's comeback (they were down a dozen at half). It appears Philon should be good to resume his regular role when Alabama heads to Georgia on Tuesday.
