Vols Top Tide
Despite what they think in East Alabama, no one is going 18-0 in SEC play this basketball season, No. 6 Tennessee proved that point to Alabama 91-71 Saturday in Knoxville. It got downright Vol-atile.
The game featured two SEC Player of the Year candidates. Alabama's Mark Sears scored 22 points as he continues to recover from a nagging ankle injury. Tennessee's Dalton Knecht scored 25.
Alabama's other double digit scorers included nobody.
By half time, Tennessee already led 50-37.
Alabama drops to 12-6, 4-1 SEC. Tennessee is now 14-4, 4-1.
Tennessee scored 23 points off 22 Alabama turnovers.
That's the game in a nutshell.
Next up for the Crimson Tide is the Iron Bowl of basketball. Auburn visits Tuscaloosa for a 6:30 p.m. tip-off. You can hear that game on Tide 100.9, 95.3 The Bear and 1230 AM WTBC.
