Alabama head coach Nate Oats reiterated during his Friday press conference that while the team understands the “tragic and serious” case of former player Darius Miles, Michael Davis and victim
Brandon Miller remains part of the men’s basketball roster and likely will for the team’s final three regular-season games and postseason run. Even as the Crimson Tide deals with on- and off-the-court factors — the fallout from the Jan. 15 shooting and, specifically, Miller’s involvement — Oats said the pulse of the team remains “pretty good” ahead of its 1 p.m. Saturday tipoff against Arkansas in Coleman Coliseum.

Miller, who per his attorney was on his way to pick up Miles from the Tuscaloosa strip, received a text from Miles asking for his gun, which was in the back of Miller’s 2022 Dodge Charger. That weapon was eventually fired by Davis and killed Harris, 23.
Oats said the team has met with university crisis management officials and counselors since Jan. 15 and commended their work. On Wednesday night, Miller scored a career-high 41 points in No. 2 Alabama’s 78-76 overtime win at South Carolina. The crowd chanted “lock him up” and “guilty” at Miller throughout the game, booing whenever he possessed the ball and cheering his miscues. Miller didn’t appear to be phased, coming through for momentum-swinging buckets, including the game-winner.
