“I’m just happy to be back out there and do something for our team to get the win,” Wrightsell said of his game-tying shot. “Whatever they needed I was going to do it to help us win. I didn’t realize how big a shot it was at the moment.” It was the first start for Wrightsell since Feb. 17. He sustained a head injury in practice and missed three straight games.
“We needed him in a bad way,” Crimson Tide coach Nate Oats said. “If we had him in those games where he was out, we definitely wouldn’t have lost some of the ones we did. We might have had a league championship if he hadn’t gone down.”
