Talk about a winning drive. Alabama guard Anthony Brock began his in Little Rock, Ark., and ended it in Knoxville, Tenn. On Saturday, Brock attended his grandmother’s funeral in Little Rock and missed his scheduled flight to Knoxville, where Alabama was to play Tennessee the next day. So he and his cousin split time driving overnight, a trip taking more than eight hours, Brock sleeping when he could. Brock arrived in Knoxville just in time for the team’s pregame meal, and eventually won the game for Alabama with a 3-point bank shot at the buzzer, 70-67. Afterward, Brock said his grandmother “helped me on that one.” Los Angeles Times
