The Kentucky Wildcats have completed the season sweep of the Alabama Crimson Tide with today’s 90-81 win in front of a rocking Rupp Arena crowd.
Just like the first matchup in Tuscaloosa, this one was another dogfight that Kentucky had to fight like crazy to win.
The challenge this time was playing without Sahvir Wheeler and TyTy Washington due to injury. Those two were a big reason why Alabama shot just 3/30 from deep in the first matchup.
Without them, Alabama opened this game scorching hot from deep en route to a 46-point first half thanks to 9/22 shooting from deep.
