Ellis scores 22 for No. 10 Alabama in 96-64 win over Miami

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) - Keon Ellis had 22 points, Jaden Shackelford contributed 15 and No. 10 Alabama defeated Miami 96-64 in the fifth-place game at the ESPN Events Invitational on Sunday night.

Alabama (6-1), which also got 13 points each from JD Davison and Juwan Gary, found itself in the consolation bracket after losing its tournament opener to coach Rick Pitino's Iona team. Davison added 10 assists.

Kameron McGusty had 21 points and 10 rebounds for Miami (4-3), and Isaiah Wong scored 10 of his 14 points in the second half.

The Crimson Tide trailed by as many as nine points but grabbed a 33-30 halftime lead thanks to Jahvon Quinerly's 3 with 2 seconds left. Alabama then used a 15-6 stretch to open up a 48-36 advantage 4 minutes into the second half, and broke the game open with a 17-0 run over five minutes - including two 3s from Shackelford.

THE TAKEAWAY

Alabama: Will likely stay in the Top 25, but will be passed by a number of teams in the next rankings.

Miami: Coach Jim Larranaga remains one win away from tying Louisville's Denny Crum (675) for 34th place on the career wins list.

LONG TIME COMING

This was the first time Miami played a regular-season nonconference game against a Top 10 team since beating No. 8 Florida on Nov. 17, 2014.

UP NEXT

Alabama: At No. 1 Gonzaga on Saturday. Gonzaga will drop from from the top spot in the upcoming poll after losing to No. 5 Duke.

Miami: Plays at Penn State on Wednesday night in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.
