With less than two minutes left on the clock, Memphis narrowed the scoring margin down to just one point, but a series of made free throws by Alabama in the final seconds of regulation solidified the win for the Crimson Tide.

Jatyjia 'Tye' Jones and Alana Davis were the only two other Tigers to score in double-digits against Alabama.

She knocked down two three-pointers in the fourth quarter to help spark the run that ultimately secured the Cougars first win over SFA since 1990.
