Could Alabama Pull off the Elusive Basketball/Football Championship Double Dip?

On Monday night, Alabama won yet another college football national championship, polishing off a perfect 13-0 season with a blowout win over Ohio State.

Twenty-four hours later, the men's basketball team went on the road and rather effortlessly took care of business against Kentucky in an 85-65 victory. The Crimson Tide never trailed for a moment at Rupp Arena in the process of improving to 5-0 in SEC play and 10-3 overall.

Even though they have been conference rivals for forever, it was their first win at Kentucky since 2006, and their first win at Kentucky by a margin of more than four points since 1987.
