TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) -- LSU (No. 25 ESPN/USA Today, No. 22 AP) needed only 15 minutes to convince coach John Brady it needed a challenge. It took the Tigers half that time to answer it.

Brady was so disgusted by LSU's effort in Friday's practice that he kicked the entire team out after just 15 minutes. He gathered the Tigers up early Saturday, and challenged them to pull it together later against Alabama.

Seven minutes into the game, it was obvious they had.

Stromile Swift had 21 points and 12 rebounds to help the Tigers win their first Southeastern Conference road game since 1998, 93-60 over the injury-ravaged Crimson Tide.

"Friday's practice, I didn't like the sense of urgency I sensed on our team," Brady said. "I didn't want to watch that, so I dismissed them."

He then ran a one-hour practice Saturday morning, where he worked the Tigers hard and ordered them to pick up the pace.

"It worked because tonight we started the game playing well and continued to play with intensity through the whole game," he said.

The Tigers (17-4, 4-4) had lost 16 straight SEC road games. They ended that streak by handing Alabama its most-lopsided home loss since 1968.

LSU won at Alabama (10-10, 3-5) for the first time since 1995. The Tigers earned their first victory this season on an opponent's home court, where they were 0-3. They have won five games on neutral sites.

It's been that way for LSU all season long. The Tigers have won big at home -- like last Saturday's 86-60 blowout over Arizona -- but have struggled hard on the road. They blew a late 12-point lead Wednesday at Mississippi State and lost 68-66 on a 3-pointer with 24 seconds to play.

It was never even close at Alabama.

The Crimson Tide, playing with just 10 players -- two are walk-ons -- because of injuries, couldn't slow the Tigers' fast pace and dominating inside play. LSU outrebounded the Tide 45-25 and scored 28 points off 21 turnovers.

A frustrated Alabama coach Mark Gottfried said he'd had it with the injuries and would start playing the walk-ons if some of his scholarship players didn't get tougher.

Sam Haginas missed a week of practice and two games, but leading scorer Schea Cotton didn't scrimmage at all this week, but still played in both of Alabama's games.

Gottfried said that would end.

"Our biggest problem is we haven't practiced in 10 days, we don't have enough guys to practice," Gottfried said. "This guy's got an ailment, this guy is hurt, I've had it. If our players can't practice they can't play."

Gottfried was so angry, he said he'd force the Tide to practice after the game if the NCAA would let him.

"I am very disappointed. I'm embarrassed, our players are and I think that we should be," he said. "There was a point when I think our kids lost the competitive edge and that's disappointing for me."

LSU took an early 13-11 lead, then held Alabama scoreless for over seven minutes in the first half while pulling away for a 46-24 halftime lead.

Alabama tried to run with LSU early in the second half, but poor shooting prevented the strategy from working in its favor. Swift converted two Alabama turnovers into sky-high alley-oop dunks, and after a 3-pointer from Cotton, Jabari Smith sparked a 14-2 run with two spinning jumpers that gave LSU a 68-33 lead with 10:44 to play.

After Gottfried called a timeout to calm the Tide, Cotton and Erwin Dudley hit three straight jumpers and Terrance Meade made a free throw to make it 70-40, but the Tide never got any closer than that.

"It's all about heart and we didn't show any tonight," said Meade.

Smith had 14 points for LSU. Ronald Dupree scored 12, Brian Beshera and Collis Temple each had 11 and Lamont Roland added 10.

Cotton and Dudley scored 16 each for Alabama.
