John Fulkerson had a career-high 22 points, including the go-ahead score on an alley-oop with just over three minutes left, as Tennessee rallied from down 15 to win 69-68 over Alabama on Tuesday night in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Jordan Bowden was just 5 of 17 from the field but finished with 20 points for Tennessee thanks to a 10-of-11 effort at the foul line. The Vols made 23 of 32 free throws — including 15 of 21 in the second half — compared to Alabama’s 5-of-8 performance. The Vols then went nearly 4 1/2 minutes without scoring, allowing Alabama to rebuild a double-digit advantage before Tennessee slowly chipped away. A technical foul on Alabama’s John Petty Jr. with 11:29 remaining sparked a 7-0 Tennessee run to tie it at 50 on two Fulkerson free throws.
