Tennessee's defense against Alabama's potent three-or-rim offense was just wild today. Bama leads the SEC in takes and makes and accuracy from the three-point line, which is an incredible combination of stats. The Tide were 4-for-21 behind the arc today. Couldn't get a sniff.
Four fouls for Bub Carrington with 13:56 left.
Final score from Bramlage Coliseum: Kansas State 70, Oklahoma State 66. Good teams find ways to win even when they don't play well. That was the Wildcats tonight.
Not surprised that Oklahoma State, which has been playing well below expectations, is leading K-State 35-31 at halftime. But the Wildcats can ill afford to drop this game at home. They need a strong second half.
Tech trails by 10, 55-45 with 11:19 to go, GT starting to score, but not getting stops defensively.
GT still really struggling defensively and playing sloppy on offense down 43-32 with 16:42 to play. Damon called another timeout.
Here is everything Nate Oats said after Alabama's 91-71 loss to No. 6 Tennessee on the road Saturday. "That was as dominating a performance somebody has put on us in a long time around here." 🔗: https://t.co/HWsApaM7IO https://t.co/rNmw93jDcW
Horrible start to the half and now the trouble is very real. Wildcats down 43-28.
Bama coach Nate Oats on Jonas Aidoo: He killed us. We were lucky he got two fouls or it would have been worse in the first half.
Bama coach Nate Oats: We lost up here last year [in Knoxville] and still won the league, but we need to get a lot tougher if we're gonna do that again. A lot tougher.
Bama coach Nate Oats: That was as dominating a performance as anyone had had against un in a while. We weren't ready for it. Weren't prepared. Give them a ton of credit. They just dominated us in a big way. We've got to get tougher.
FINAL in Knoxville: Tennessee destroys Bama 91-71. Get that until Rick Barnes wins big in March, Tennessee won't get the credit they deserve. But if you can't see that this team's offensive firepower makes them different than years past - you dont know ball Sorry, its true🍊🍊
Final: Tennessee 91, Alabama 71 The Crimson Tide falls to 12-6 on the season, 4-1 in league play. https://t.co/pDJSKCsNh0
A brutal afternoon in Knoxville for Alabama hoops. Down 25 at the under-4 timeout. Whole game has been a mess for what will be first SEC loss of the year with Auburn coming to town Wednesday.
#Vols 84, Bama 59, 3:57/2ndH. Bama's Mark Sears to the line for two after this final media timeout on the floor.
Rough day for Bama's Grant Nelson is done. He fouled out. Scored 3 points in 17 minutes. #Vols 78, Bama 54, 6:43/2ndH.
Bama star Mark Sears whistled for his third foul with 11:04 left. He's frustrated right now. Playing on a sore ankle doesn't help.
Four fouls on Bama's Grant Nelson with 18:43 left.
Huge contribution from Jordan Gainey with 13 points and three triples today. Vols up 50-37 over Bama at the half, scoring 1.389 points per possession.
