How Jusaun Holt's meeting with Alabama basketball coach Nate Oats went

After Saturday's loss to LSU, Jusaun Holt's status with Alabama basketball was in question.

He didn't travel with the team to Baton Rouge, and Crimson Tide coach Nate Oats said there was a team/internal issue.

"Me and him are going to meet this weekend and figure out his status with the team moving forward," Oats said Saturday.

The two met on Sunday, which happened to be Holt's birthday. It seemed to have gone well.

"Unfortunate everything happened around his birthday weekend, but we had a good meeting," Oats said Monday. "He's back in practice. Thought he practiced really hard today. He'll be making the trip to Tampa with us provided tomorrow's practice goes well."

Holt is tenth on the team in minutes, averaging about seven minutes per game this season. Before not making the trip to Baton Rouge, Holt saw only two minutes in the loss to Texas A&M on Wednesday.

He has been a contributor at times this season, though. He logged 26 minutes for the Crimson Tide against Ole Miss on Feb. 9. But since then, he hasn't seen more than seven minutes in a game.

Holt is averaging 0.4 points per game with three buckets total this season. He had a season-high six rebounds in the game against Ole Miss.

The freshman is a 6-foot-6, 190-pound guard from Tacoma, Washington. Holt played for St. Francis High School in Georgia where he was a four-star prospect.

Alabama will next play at 7 p.m. CT on Thursday in Tampa, Florida in the SEC Tournament against either Georgia or Vanderbilt.
