Oddly absent for opener Welch (undisclosed) did not take the court in Monday's 75-54 victory over Longwood.
Impact No reason was provided for Welch's absence, though it was certainly surprising. The fifth-year senior was a double-digit scorer for three seasons at St. Bonaventure and even started the Tide's lone exhibition game, so if he were healthy and in good standing, he would have seen the court in a game in which Alabama emptied its bench. His next chance to suit up comes Friday against Liberty. Meanwhile, Nimari Burnett drew the start at shooting guard in his stead.
