While they were able to erase a 15 point second half deficit late in regulation, Oregon State (2-1) fell to Alabama on a three point shot by Rodney Cooper with 13 seconds remaining. The jumper kept a shaky possession by the Crimson Tide from completely unraveling. Craig Robinson blamed himself for his team's slow start.

Zeft shot these images - which were previously a stack of slides - from the sidelines and stands at Jadwin Gym while attending games with his family.

I have ID'd players to the best of my ability but any further details in the comments would be greatly appreciated.

That's John Rogers (#32) shooting from the top of the key above with Randy Melville (#21) boxing out and Bob Roma (#40) on the wing. You can click on any image to enlarge.
