Kentucky Basketball: Buckle up, lace ’em up as UK and Bama battle for SEC top spot
By Eric Thorne
In the end, it will be?
The last time Alabama came to Lexington and won was in 2006 and has won just twice in the last 17 matchups overall.
The combined 7-0 record for both teams is intriguing but don’t count the Cats out. In the four games under Calipari, where the Cats and their opponent lost a combined single game or less coming into the matchup with each having played at least 7 combined games Kentucky has won ALL of them.
If the same Kentucky team shows up that did on Saturday then I’ll like the Cats 83-80. But this looks like a very entertaining game.
