The Wildcats and Crimson Tide, both ranked among the top 10 in the two major polls (the USA TODAY Coaches and the Associated Press) square off today at Rupp Arena. They double as the two highest-scoring teams in the SEC: Alabama is tied for first nationally (alongside Iowa) at 89.
In particular, Alabama attacked a trio of Kentucky guards — Koby Brea, Jaxson Robinson and Travis Perry — and had a great deal of success doing so. Wildcats head coach Mark Pope noticed it, but there wasn't much he or his team could do about it.
In the end, Alabama secured the win 102 to 97. The game not only marked the Wildcats' first loss against a top-15 ranked opponent this season, but also marked the team's first home loss of the season. UK is now 14-4 overall, and 3-2 in conference play.
No. 6 Kentucky won at No. 14 Mississippi State ( 95-90). Dropped to No. 8 due to a loss at Georgia the prior week, UK then came home to beat No. 11 Texas A&M (81-69) but lost 102-97 to No. 4 Alabama.
Nate Oats and the Crimson Tide exploit a UK vulnerability in handing Mark Pope his first home loss as the Wildcats’ head coach.
