Jahmai Mashack’s buzzer-beating 3-pointer gives Tennessee 79-76 win over Alabama

Jahmai Mashack hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give No. 5 Tennessee a 79-76 win over No. 6 Alabama after the Crimson Tide committed a 5-second violation for a turnover when they had an opportunity to win the game.

Alabama had a 76-72 lead with 36 seconds remaining in regulation, but a Chaz Lanier layup followed by two free throws from Mashack tied the game for the Volunteers.

Tennessee’s defense came up big on Alabama’s final possession, preventing the Tide from inbounding the ball before a 5-second violation was called. Clifford Omoruyi found Chris Youngblood for an open 3-pointer, but he missed. The shot didn’t count anyway after Alabama was whistled for the violation. Making matters worse, the Tide had two timeouts remaining.
