Tennessee alone at top of the SEC after 81-74 road win over Alabama

The Tennessee Volunteers are peaking at the right time, it seems.

Zakai Zeigler scored 18 points and Josiah-Jordan James added 11 points with 13 rebounds as the Vols knocked off the Alabama Crimson Tide 81-74 on Saturday night at the Coleman Coliseum in Tuscaloosa.

The Vols’ game plan changed quickly in the game’s opening minutes. Center Jonas Aidoo picked up two quick fouls before the game’s first media timeout and ended up sitting out the rest of the half. Tobe Awaka came in the game in his place and picked up two quick fouls himself, which also sent him to the bench.
