Brandon Miller is currently being accused of something serious right now. For those who don't know who Miller is, he is the star player for the Alabama Crimson Tide basketball team. Overall, Alabama is ranked second in the nation, and Miller is their leading scorer. However, the team has been embroiled in controversy. This is because one of their other players, Darius Miles, was charged with capital murder. According to reports, he allegedly supplied a gun to Michael Lynn Davis, who shot and killed Jamea Harris. This all happened close to the Alabama campus.
Although Alabama has expelled Miles, they are still dealing with the fallout from the case. Earlier this week, we reported that a witness implicated Miller in the shooting. According to detective Branden Culpepper, Miller allegedly gave the gun to Miles, who then gave it to Davis. For now, however, Miller cannot be charged with anything and there is no telling if he will be. That said, Alabama is letting him play, and last night, he broke through with a massive game against South Carolina.
Brandon Miller Game-Winner
Miller grabbed a total of 41 points and also added 8 rebounds. Furthermore, he was able to get the game-winning basket in overtime. Overall, it was an amazing game for Miller, who was met with vitriol from fans in South Carolina. Of course, they were well aware of everything that Miller was being accused of. This led to numerous "lock him up" chants throughout the match. Clearly, none of this fazed Miller who continued to play his game. Now, it seems like Miller is considered to be one of the best players in college basketball, and it will be interesting to see how this all develops further.
The Miles murder case definitely complicates things for the Crimson Tide. There is all sorts of negative attention surrounding Miller and the team, although there is no telling if the legal ramifications will ever come. For now, the team will just have to operate as normal until more details come to light. This is a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.
