On Friday, freshman guard Labaron Philon scored a career-high 21 points and led Alabama with four assists and three steals in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals against Kentucky, helping secure the Crimson Tide's first three-win streak.

Philon, who sports tattooed sleeves inspired by horror movies (Michael Myers, Chucky and the Joker), said his strong defense earns him the 'villain' nickname on the court.

Alabama basketball is still in the SEC Tournament and must win its next game against Florida to keep its championship hopes alive.
