Rhyne Howard’s return to Memorial Coliseum is a night she won’t soon forget. But Kentucky women’s basketball can’t wipe Thursday night from their minds quickly enough.

After a week of rest, the Wildcats fell 72-65 to the Alabama Crimson Tide despite their sideline guest star. It is Kentucky’s second loss in a row, dropping them to 11th place in the conference. If there was anything positive to take from UK’s loss, it was Jada Walker’s performance.

Walker led the team with 15 and two steals. In the face of the guard’s solid numbers, it was still a troublesome night.
