Alabama's SEC Women's Tournament Run Comes To End: Roll Call

Texas rolled over Alabama 83-60 in the SEC Women's Basketball Tournament Quarterfinals on Friday. Jordan Lee scored 16 points, Madison Booker contributed 11 points, 10 rebounds and six assists in limited minutes for the Longhorns as the burnt orange jumped out to a 40-12 lead in the second quarter to serve the Crimson Tide an early knockout punch.

"Texas played great," Kristy Curry said. "I think you come in and you credit their play tonight. I thought they were outstanding, had four in double-figures. We were just a little disjointed to start the game and I think you have to credit their defense. I'm so proud of my team, so proud of who they've tried to be all year."

Alabama, playing its third game in three days, didn't have a single player in double-digit scoring but saw Jessica Timmons, Diana Collins, Alancia Ramsey, and Ace Austin score eight points each in the loss. The Crimson Tide trailed 52-19 at halftime, but fought back to make it respectable, winning the second half 41-31.

The Crimson Tide now returns home from Greenville and turns its attention to the NCAA Tournament.
