Alabama basketball plays the Kentucky Wildcats Saturday in Lexington and any oddsmaker that does not favor the Tide is wrong. History of the rivalry is heavily on the side of the Wildcats. Over the last forty years, in 71 games, the Crimson Tide has only won against the Cats 20 times.
Fourteen of those wins have come in Tuscaloosa and only six in Lexington. The most notable of those road wins was in 1983. In an era when the SEC Basketball Tournament was held at campus sites, the Tide beat the Cats in Lexington to win the tournament championship.
