Zaay Green scored 23 points to notch her sixth 20-plus point performance of the season, and Karly Weathers had seven assists while posting a plus/minus of 28 points (points scored minus allowed while on the court) as the Alabama women’s basketball team topped Missouri at Coleman Coliseum, 68-49.

Aaliyah Nye had her sixth-straight double-figure scoring game (11), and Essence Cody (10) reached double digits for the 10th time.

The Crimson Tide (16-1, 2-0 SEC) held the Tigers (11-6, 0-2 SEC), which entered the contest ranked as the top 3-point shooting team in the Southeastern Conference, to just 25 percent shooting (3-for-12) from beyond the arch. Mizzou didn’t have anyone reach double digits in scoring.

“I thought we really stepped up in a big way on the defensive end, on the boards and being the aggressor and converting and getting to the free throw line,” Alabama head coach Kristy Curry said (see video). “I mean tremendous effort from so many people on the defensive end that you can always control how hard you defend and rebound. An unbelievable effort today and being 2-0 in the league defending your home court. I’m really proud of our leadership. I thought Aaliyah [Nye] and Karly [Weathers] and Zaay [Green] were unbelievable with their voices. And I’m just really proud.”

The women’s basketball team will visit Texas on Thursday for its first SEC road game of the season (7 p.m. CT, SEC Network+).
