The Alabama Crimson Tide put together a solid first half but couldn’t hold on in a 63-56 loss to the No. 8 Tennessee Volunteers.
Alabama took a one-point lead into the locker room, but the second half was a totally different story.
Head coach Anthony Grant was disappointed that his team was unable to take advantage of upsetting a top-ranked opponent.
Grant felt the team had plenty of opportunities to make plays but were simply unable to execute.
The Tide limited Wayne Chism to 11 points, but they all came in the final seven minutes of the game.

The Alabama Crimson Tide used a powerful running game and hard-hitting defense to roll past the Texas Longhorns, 37-21, and win the national championship.
The biggest play of the game occurred in the first quarter when Texas quarterback Colt McCoy was hit hard in the right shoulder.
McCoy appeared to be fine at first, but later crumpled on the sideline and did not return to the game.
The Crimson Tide eventually wore down a Texas front seven that slowed them down in the early going.
Alabama had two running backs rush for over 100 yards and each scored two touchdowns. It is the team’s first national title since 1992.
