Effective in starting role Gary logged 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds and two steals over 27 minutes during Friday's 80-71 victory over Drake.

Impact Alabama made a change to its starting five after Thursday's upset loss to Iona, which resulted in Gary entering the lineup in place of Noah Gurley.

The Tide were able to get back on track using this alignment, so it's possible this continues moving forward. More importantly, it appears Gary is fully healthy after missing two games due to a lower-body injury suffered earlier this season.
