In a high-stakes clash that had the basketball world on the edge of their seats, No. 14 Alabama basketball faced a formidable challenge on their home court against the powerhouse No. 4 Tennessee on Saturday. The Crimson Tide battled fiercely, but ultimately succumbed to a determined Volunteer squad, falling 81-74 after a disastrous second half.

The loss marks a significant setback for Alabama, raising questions about the team's ability to compete at the highest level against formidable opponents, and likely thwarts any chance at an outright SEC regular season championship.
