No. 20 Tennessee completed its largest comeback of the season and won its sixth-straight game, bouncing back from 10 down in the first quarter to stay unbeaten in SEC play with a 70-59 victory over No. 21 Alabama on Sunday.
The Lady Vols (13-3, 5-0 SEC), fell behind 13-3 early, built a pair of 10-point leads in the third quarter and fell behind by one, 54-53, with 7:19 to go in the game before outscoring the Crimson Tide, 17-5, over the final seven minutes.
That closing kick enabled the Big Orange to win for only the second time in its last seven trips to Tuscaloosa and post a couple of Kim Caldwell era bests with a fifth-straight SEC win and fourth-consecutive triumph on the road.
Redshirt junior guard Talaysia Cooper led five UT players in double figures with 16 points.
