Latrell Wrightsell ruled day-to-day ahead of Sweet 16
On Thursday night from Los Angeles, Nate Oats will lead the Alabama Crimson Tide men’s basketball team in a Sweet 16 matchup against the North Carolina Tar Heels. The winner will earn a spot in the Elite Eight, a feat the Alabama program has only accomplished once in its history.
Tide fans have been curious since Sunday night if Alabama would have starting guard Latrell Wrightsell in the lineup against the Tar Heels and Coach Oats provided the latest on Wednesday afternoon following the team’s practice.
In short, Wrightsell’s status remains uncertain for tomorrow night’s matchup as Coach Oats ruled the sharp-shooting senior as “day-to-day”.
“Latrell is being reevaluated by the medical staff every day”, Oats told reporters. “He’s basically on a day-to-day basis now. I’m not sure if he’ll be available or not.”
Wrightsell’s availability will be critical for Alabama’s success against the top-seeded Tar Heels.
Roll Tide Wire will continue to monitor the status of Wrightsell leading up to tipoff tomorrow night.
