Overview
- Alabama erased a 13-point second-half deficit and took its first lead on Labaron Philon’s jumper with 22.8 seconds left.
- Latrell Wrightsell Jr. hit six 3-pointers in a 25-point night, and Philon finished with 23 points, 15 after halftime.
- Tennessee’s Ja’Kobi Gillespie logged 26 points with eight steals and seven assists, yet the Vols missed three close looks at the buzzer.
- Despite a 47-30 rebounding edge and 25 offensive boards, Tennessee was outscored 43-29 after the break.
- The result snapped Alabama’s five-game skid against Tennessee and extended the Crimson Tide’s winning streak to eight, as freshman Nate Ament exited with a right leg/knee injury after limited minutes.
