Freshman Tony Mitchell scored 17 points and Mikhail Torrance added 15 to lead Alabama to a 73-51 victory over North Florida on Wednesday night. Mitchell, who also had seven rebounds, left the game with 9:25 to go because of a swollen left knee. He hit the floor hard after going up for a rebound and is day-to-day. North Florida (1-5) led 31-30 at halftime and 35-34 with 17:56 to go. Alabama (5-2) used a 35-11 run to pull away and held the Ospreys without a field goal for the final 4:03. The Crimson Tide hit a season-high nine 3-pointers - going 9-for-20 from long range - and made five of their first 11. North Florida, which entered the game with the third-best 3-point shooting percentage (48.4 percent) behind Iowa State and Kansas, was 4-for-14 from beyond the arc (28.6 percent). Andy Diaz had 14 points and Stan Januska added 13 for North Florida.
