Brandon Miller, allowed to play, stars for Alabama in OT win

labama star Brandon Miller, allowed to play amid controversy over his alleged

role leading up to a fatal shooting, scored a career-best 41 points and led the

Crimson Tide to a 78-76 overtime win at South Carolina on Wednesday

The big performance in Columbia, S.C., came one day after Tuscaloosa, Ala., police

testified that the freshman forward transported the gun to a then-teammate that was used to kill a woman last month.

The University of Alabama said it looked further into the situation and cleared Miller

to play in the Southeastern Conference game against the Gamecocks

Miller wasn't charged in the Jan. 15 shooting death of 23-year-old Jamea Jonae Harris.
