For the first time in program history, Alabama's women's basketball team celebrated a win over Tennessee in Tuscaloosa.

The Crimson Tide took down the Lady Vols 54-46 on Thursday night in Foster Auditorium. It was the first win over Tennessee since March 3, 1984 as Alabama went 0-19 against the SEC power in home games.

Alabama (15-13, 4-11 SEC) held the visitors to 26.1 percent shooting (18 of 69) including 0-11 from 3-point range.

Tennessee (16-12, 7-8) missed all 12 shots in the second quarter. The Lady Vols fell out of the Associated Press top 25 for the first time since 1985 earlier this week. It only got worse Thursday in Tuscaloosa when losing its third game in the last four outings.
