    JaMychal Green scored 22 points, Trevor Releford scored the go-ahead basket in the closing seconds, and the top-seeded Crimson Tide withstood a late rally to beat fellow No. 1 seed Colorado 62-61 in the NIT semifinals Tuesday night.

    Releford finished with 13 points and six assists for the Crimson Tide (25-11), who advanced to play Wichita State on Thursday night for the tournament title. The Shockers beat Washington State 75-44 in the other semifinal game at Madison Square Garden.
