Vanderbilt 82, Alabama 76: A rare come-from-behind win

Thursday night’s game wound up being Vanderbilt’s biggest comeback of the season, both in terms of the deficit erased (15 points) and KenPom’s in-game win probabilities (Vanderbilt had a 4 percent chance of winning when Alabama led 51-36 with 14:09 left.
