SEC Women's Basketball

No. 20 Alabama women's basketball celebrated their final home game with an 88-85 victory against No.7 LSU, showcasing true grit and dedication in this upset.

On Sunday, Nye scored 29 points, including six 3-pointers, which propelled her to the top of the all-time 3-pointers list for women's basketball at the University of Alabama. With a total of 278 3-pointers made.

Marking their largest margin (39-points) of victory in Southeastern Conference play since 1999.

Barker has been on a remarkable run, securing her third midseason accolade in just a week. She first earned a selection to the Ann Meyers Drysdale National Player of the Year Watchlist on Feb. 3, followed by her recognition as the Ann Meyers Drysdale Shooting Guard of the Year on Feb. 4.

The Wildcats remain undefeated at home this season and claimed their 500th win at the historic Memorial Coliseum for women's basketball.

The No.22 Alabama Crimson Tide (17-4, 4-3 SEC) women's basketball will face off against the No.12 Kentucky Wildcats (17-2, 6-1 SEC) on Thursday at Memorial Coliseum.

The Vanderbilt Commodores entered Coleman Coliseum on Sunday priming with confidence after their victory over the No.17 Tennessee Volunteers on Jan. 19. Aiming to end a decade-long losing streak against Alabama.

With this loss, the Crimson Tide's SEC record now stands at 2-1, while their overall season record is 15-2.

"If we don't do our work early, we're going to be in big trouble," said Curry about the importance of a strong start.

This marks Alabama’s first win in an SEC opener since the 2021-22 season, solidifying their impressive 14-1 record (1-0 SEC).
