Here are three things we learned from the Tennessee basketball Volunteers’ 71-63 loss to the Crimson Tide.

In a shocker at Thompson-Boling Arena Saturday night, the Alabama Crimson Tide turned a two-point halftime lead into a 14-point lead early in the second half thanks to a 17-4 run that included five straight three-pointers. Tennessee basketball could not recover, and the Tide got their first win in Knoxville, Tenn. in six years.
