Rick Barnes recaps Vols’ loss to Alabama

Alabama defeated Tennessee at Thompson-Boling Arena.

On what went wrong when Alabama made five threes in a row, and if he felt like they did a poor job of overhelping or poor switching:
“We adjusted to that, and we got to where we were not going to overhelp. They run what we call blurred screens and they do it 90 percent of the time. We had a couple of guys that we were concerned about that we get messed up in that and it happened. We adjusted to where we wanted them to play off the bounce. We wanted them to stay back and the guy on the ball to be raised to be able to contest the three, and we would live with that. What we didn’t want was driving and kicking out. The offensive rebounds hurt us at critical times too, it really did. Give them credit and I don’t want to take anything away from them. We have to get a lot better.”
