ADD ANOTHER crown to Tide’s collection.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Skip calling Alabama simply a football school anymore. The Crimson Tide have courted a new moniker they think fits so much better.

Just call them a Championship School.

Herbert Jones drove for a go-ahead layup with 19.5 seconds and No. 6 Alabama won the SEC Tournament for the first time since 1991, holding off a late flurry to edge LSU 80-79 Sunday.

Coach Nate Oats and the Crimson Tide (24-6) added to their regular-season title with a victory that helped Alabama match its highest seed ever in the NCAA Tournament.

The Tide, who were No. 2 in both 1987 and 2002, is seeded second and will play Iona on Saturday.

Alabama, the reigning national champions in football, won its seventh tournament title overall, second in the SEC only to Kentucky’s 31.

Now they’ve joined Florida (2006-07) as the only SEC schools with both the league football and basketball titles in the same year. Alabama did it by adding two more SEC titles in basketball after Nick Saban’s squad won both the SEC and national championships a couple months ago.

“So we don’t have to be a football school or a basketball school,” Oats said. “We just win championships. We’re a championship school.”

Jaden Shackelford led Alabama with 21 points.

LSU (18-9) hadn’t won this tournament since 1980, and this was the Tigers’ first time in the final since 1993.

Trendon Watford finished with a career-high 30 points for LSU.

Cockburn made the go-ahead free throw with 1:39 to play, Dosunmu made a 15-footer with 50 seconds to go and the Illini (23-6) sealed it at the free-throw line. … Kyle Lofton scored 23 points and Osun Osunniyi scored 14 points with 12 rebounds and St. Bonaventure beat VCU 74-65 in the Atlantic 10 Conference tournament in Dayton, Ohio.
