BTI’s Rants and Ramblings: UK Will Need to Make Up Points Against Alabama

I know there are a bunch of games on the UK basketball schedule that look more daunting than tomorrow’s game against Alabama. And based on where the SEC standings will finish in March, Alabama is likely to be a middle of the pack squad. They are probably going to be a fringe NCAA team and in Nate Oats’ first year he is simply trying to establish his program. But I can tell you right now there might not be a worse matchup for Kentucky than tomorrow and we should be genuinely nervous about this game. Not only is UK coming off a very emotional road win over Georgia and the potential for a letdown is real, and not only is Alabama coming in playing its best of the season, the way that Alabama plays against the way we play leads to a real problem.
