24 in exhibition loss Estrada had a team-high 24 points (10-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT) to go along with six rebounds, three assists and two steals in Sunday's 88-80 exhibition loss to Wake Forest. Impact Estrada has now led Alabama in scoring in each of its two exhibition games, though it's worth noting that backcourt running mate Mark Sears -- who is the team's leading returning scorer at 12.5 ppg -- was sidelined for both contests due to an ankle injury. Effectively, Estrada got by on volume, taking nearly twice as many shots as any other Alabama player. Look for Sears to cut into that workload once healthy, but in the short term, Estrada appears poised to have to carry the fast-paced Crimson Tide offense.
