A 25-point performance by Scotty Pippen Jr. powered Vanderbilt to an upset win over Alabama in the SEC tournament Thursday night.
The two-time first-team All-SEC talent made headlines coming into the game when he called the sixth-seeded Crimson Tide a “very beatable team” following Vandy’s first round win against Georgia.
After backing up his pre-game trash talk with another standout performance, Pippen Jr. revealed after the game that his comments apparently did more than just fire up Alabama’s fans and players.
