Alabama stagnates on offense, falls to Memphis on the road

Alabama women’s basketball fell to Memphis 75-70, after a floundering offense in the second and third quarters allowed the Tigers to make a 23-point turnaround. The Crimson Tide had the hot hand to start the game, but turnovers and poor shooting quickly gave up the 18-point lead Alabama held early in the second quarter. Although it made a late fourth quarter comeback that put them back within two points of the Tigers, Alabama wasn’t able to overcome its prior deficit to pull out the win.
