Clara Strack with a double-double to lead Kentucky women's basketball to win over Alabama

The Kentucky Wildcats picked up a hard-fought win over Alabama, using timely shooting, tough defense, and strong rebounding to take down the Crimson Tide. In a game that saw multiple momentum swings, Kentucky made the key plays when it mattered most, securing an impressive SEC victory.

Georgia Amoore Leads the Charge

Georgia Amoore was the engine that kept Kentucky rolling, stuffing the stat sheet with 16 points, 9 assists, and 3 rebounds. She controlled the tempo and made big plays late to help seal the win.

Clara Strack was dominant on the glass, grabbing 14 rebounds to go along with 14 points, proving to be a force in the paint. Dazia Lawrence also chipped in with 10 points, including three three-pointers, giving Kentucky a much-needed spark from deep.

Kentucky Finds Its Shot

The Wildcats shot 37.5% from three (9-for-24), giving them a major edge over Alabama’s 31.3% (5-for-16). That outside shooting proved to be the difference as Kentucky spread the floor and knocked down big shots.

Despite Alabama having an edge in points in the paint (34 to 22), Kentucky’s ability to move the ball led to high-percentage looks from beyond the arc. The Wildcats dished out 16 assists, showing great ball movement and team chemistry.
