Alabama women’s basketball unable to overcome Tennessee in SEC tournament debut on Friday


Alabama women’s basketball suffered a tough loss in their 2024 SEC tournament opener against Tennessee, falling 83-61. The Crimson Tide struggled throughout the game, losing starter Jessica Timmons to injury in the first quarter and never managing to take the lead. Their offense was off, shooting poorly from three-point range and allowing Tennessee to score the most points in SEC play all season. Tennessee’s dominance in the paint, shooting 50% from the field, helped secure their victory, with seniors Jewel Spear and Rickea Jackson leading the charge with a combined 46 points.

The injury to Timmons in the first quarter was a blow to Alabama’s lineup, and they struggled to contain Tennessee’s offense. Despite being one of the best defensive teams in the SEC statistically, they allowed the Lady Vols to score at will, particularly in the paint. Tennessee’s strong offensive performance, coupled with Alabama’s inability to find their rhythm, sealed the game in their favor.

Moving forward, Tennessee will advance to face No. 1 South Carolina in the semifinals of the SEC tournament, while Alabama looks ahead to the NCAA tournament after finishing with a 23-8 record. The loss serves as a learning experience for the Crimson Tide, who will need to regroup and refocus as they prepare for postseason play.
