TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Brandon Miller scored 31 points and had six 3-pointers by halftime to lead No. 4 Alabama to a 106-66 victory over LSU in the most lopsided meeting in series history. Miller, the nation’s top scoring freshman and a potential NBA lottery pick, matched LSU’s 22 first-half points by himself for the streaking Crimson Tide. It turned into the biggest mismatch of the series’ 189-game history. Alabama led 59-22 by halftime, only one point shy of the previous biggest Alabama-LSU margin. The Tide won 113-75 during the 1975-76 season.
