Stillman Men's Basketball Preview: Strong showing against Alabama has Tigers confident

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama --  The season hasn't even officially started but Stillman College men's basketball team has already seen the best competition it'll face.

The Division II Tigers fell 76-68 to the University of Alabama on the road at Coleman Coliseum Tuesday night. They give the Crimson Tide, leading by as many as six points and one at the half before succumbing against their SEC opponent.

And while Stillman coach Michael Grant already figured his team might fare well in 2012-2013, it returns four starters from last year's team, three of whom were preseason All-Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference choices, it certainly adds to his confidence.

"I thought our guys really competed," Grant said. "They really respected their opponent but at the same time they knew that they wanted to come out and prove something---that they can play with anybody. That's what kind of team we have this year."
