Texas Longhorns Lose Key Player Kaluma to Injury vs Alabama

In a highly anticipated matchup, the No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide faced the Texas Longhorns at Moody Center, where Texas was without their second-leading scorer, Arthur Kaluma, due to a knee injury sustained during the game. Kaluma, who averages 13.4 points and 8.1 rebounds per game, left the court without scoring. The Longhorns, needing a win to bolster their NCAA Tournament hopes, had previously struggled with a 3-7 record against Quadrant 1 opponents. Alabama entered the game with a strong ranking and aims to maintain momentum in the SEC. Additionally, Alabama's coach Nate Oats provided updates on player injuries, indicating that freshman Derrion Reid would also be sidelined for the game. Both teams are under pressure to secure victories as they navigate the competitive landscape of the SEC.
