Justin Hamilton scored 12 of his team-high 21 points in the second half, and LSU held off a feisty but suspension-riddled Alabama squad 67-58 on Saturday night.
Johnny O’Bryant III had 17 points and nine rebounds, and Andre Stinger added 15 points for LSU (14-10, 4-6 Southeastern Conference), which snapped the Crimson Tide’s three-game winning streak.
Rodney Cooper scored a career-high 28 points for Alabama (16-8, 5-5), which played without its top three scorers and top two rebounders because of four suspensions in a span of six days.
Shortly before the game, Alabama announced that three regulars -- including leading scorer and rebounder JaMychal Green -- had been suspended earlier in the day for an undisclosed violation of team rules.
Also suspended Saturday were Trevor Releford and Andrew Steele. The trio was driven home by a graduate assistant. Tony Mitchell was suspended last Monday for conduct detrimental to the team.
