The Kentucky Wildcats returned home after an exciting win on the road on Saturday, and ultimately fell flat against the SEC-leading Alabama Crimson Tide. Behind an incredible shooting performance, Alabama ran away with the game to get the 85-65 victory.
This was certainly a set back compared to Saturday’s win against Florida, but there were also flashes of improvement and fight from the Wildcats that we did not see in December. Kentucky was led in points by Isaiah Jackson with 14, and eight different players put points on the board. Jackson also asserted himself in the paint with six rebounds and seven blocked shots.
