NYE SETS PROGRAM RECORD: Alabama women's basketball defeats Mississippi State as Aaliyah Nye sets program record

Here are three takeaways from the game between Alabama women's basketball (22-8, 9-6 SEC) and Florida (14-12, 5-10):

Cunningham provides valuable first half minutes for Alabama

Senior center JeAnna Cunningham provided a big spark for Alabama offensively in the first half.

In eight minutes of action, Cunningham recorded eight points on a perfect 3-for-3 from the field, five rebounds and a block before halftime for the Crimson Tide.

With Naomi Jones out for the rest of the season, Alabama will continue to rely heavily on more sparks like this from Cunningham off the bench as the SEC and NCAA tournaments approach.

Four Alabama seniors score double figures on senior night

The Crimson Tide were able to score in bunches for the second straight game, with four players recording double-digit scoring numbers.

Seniors Sarah Ashlee Barker, Loyal McQueen, Aaliyah Nye and JeAnna Cunningham all scored in double figures for Alabama on their senior nights.

"It was amazing to play on senior night here. I joked with my parents, that if you were to tell me that I'd be walking out here for senior day just a couple years ago, I'd call them crazy — but I'm just truly blessed. God puts us in places that he needs us always, and just understanding that God's plan is always the best plan and just all the glory goes to Him," Barker reflected on her senior year as a whole.

Alabama wins its home season finale

After Thursday's win against Florida, Alabama won its last game of the season at Coleman Coliseum.

The Crimson Tide finishes the season with its best home record in coach Kristy Curry's tenure, at 15-3, with notable wins against Auburn and Tennessee.

Alabama looks to be in the driver's seat for a top-four seed in the SEC tournament with a win in Sunday's season-finale against Texas A&M.
