Trailing by 15 in the first half with just over three minutes to go, Tennessee basketball led a furious comeback to defeat the Alabama Crimson Tide on the road Tuesday night, breaking a three-game losing streak. The Vols scored a huge 69-68 victory in the process.
Yves Pons blocked a potential game-tying shot with Rick Barnes’ team up by two and less than 10 seconds left, and then he sank two free throws to secure the win. A Kira Lewis Jr. three-pointer as time expired is what made it a one-point game, but Rocky Top had already won.
