BamaCentral Courtside: No. 4 Tennessee 81, No. 14 Alabama 74
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – On Saturday, No. 14 Alabama fell 81-74 to No. 4 Tennessee at home, ending the SEC's longest home winning streak.
On a weekend where ESPN's College Gameday crew made the journey to Coleman Coliseum, the Crimson Tide were unable to capitalize on a packed out crowd and raucous environment.
Over the final 13 minutes of action, Rick Barnes' Volunteers outscored Nate Oats' team 30-16 - suffocating the Alabama offense with their length and versatility.
With the loss, winning the SEC regular season title outright now seems improbable for the Crimson Tide. However, if Alabama manages to win out, and Tennessee drops one of their last two, a share would be in order.
