Alabama’s last-second loss at Tennessee came down to a pair of uncalled timeouts. The first came when Crimson Tide head coach Nate Oats failed to bail out freshman guard Labaron Philon before he was whistled for a five-second violation with 3.8 seconds remaining. The second occurred when officials didn’t notice Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes frantically signaling for a timeout right before Jahmai Mashack’s game-winning 3 at the buzzer.

Both non-calls proved costly for the Tide and ultimately saw No. 6 Alabama suffer a 79-76 loss to No. 5 Tennessee.
