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.

Chris Youngblood - Best showing yet in Tuscaloosa Youngblood closed with 27 points (7-13 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 111-73 victory over Mississippi State.

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.

RJ Melendez - Cold from deep in blowout loss Melendez notched 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 111-73 loss to Alabama.

Impact Melendez' 1-of-6 showing from downtown certainly can't be pointed to as one of the main reasons the Bulldogs lost - the entire team struggled to shoot with efficiency against the Crimson Tide - but it definitely didn't help. It's an example of how Alabama forced Mississippi State into bad, uncharacteristic shots en route to a 38-point blowout. Melendez did continue to contribute in a variety of ways with rebounds, assists, blocks and steals, however.

Josh Hubbard - Inefficient 21 points Hubbard accumulated 21 points (8-22 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 111-73 loss to Alabama.

Impact Hubbard was the Bulldogs' leading scorer in the blowout loss against Alabama, but he did so while hitting just 36 percent of his shots, including only 25 percent of his three-pointers. Hubbard remains the top pure scorer for the Bulldogs, but he'll need to shoot a little better to help prevent romps such as this one in the future.

KeShawn Murphy - Double-double in loss Murphy registered 18 points (8-11 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 111-73 loss to Alabama.

Impact Murphy was highly efficient from the field and also pulled down 11 rebounds, but it wasn't nearly enough to prevent a humiliating loss at the hands of the Crimson Tide. Murphy performed better than nearly all of the Bulldogs' starters, and he may be earning his way back into the starting five for the first time since November.
