Great game at Rupp, but couldn’t get the W as Bama wins a barn burner 102-97.

Cats kept it close the entire way and had a chance if one or two plays had gone their way. Pope will undoubtedly use this as a teaching moment. Kentucky is still legit and will be competitive the rest of the way. #BBN

102-97 Bama. Can’t give up 100 points at home. Gonna have to figure out the defense if this team wants to go deep in March.

Still have a lot of potential, but the athleticism of the SEC is becoming a challenge for this group. We’ll see if the Cats can get the second match up at Bama on Feb 22 #BBN

This is just a random thought, but every game Kentucky’s jersey are untucked. Doesn’t matter to me, I just haven’t noticed it as much in past season as I have this one. #BBN

Not sure where that foul was on Oweh, but I’m not sure where most of the fouls have been during this whole game. Refs all over the place on the both sides in this one. Bama up 93-84 #BBN

That 3 by Youngblood was probably the dagger. The flood gates have opened and Kentucky has let go of the rope with under 3 to go. Looks like the Cats will lose their first game to a ranked opponent. #BBN

It’s going to be a roller coaster for the last four minutes. Kentucky down by 3, and making costly turnovers in crunch time. Bama 11-31 for 3, Kentucky 9-22

Great series of plays to tie it up, but lost focused and let Bama get an easy bucket #BBN

After a bit of a lull and a series of fouls, Bama and Kentucky have traded 3s by Sears for Bama and Oweh for Kentucky. Kentucky still down by 4 under 8min to go.

Bama starting to tighten up the defense and get aggressive putting Kentucky in foul trouble. Kentucky needs to get some stops and move the ball on offense if they want a chance.
