Alabama Wins 10th Straight, Finishes UK Sweep

The Tide men’s basketball squad managed to increase their winning streak to 10 straight wins, and swept Kentucky in the series for the first time since 1988-89 in a 70-59 win in Tuscaloosa.

Alabama (14-3, 9-0) played a sloppy game, yet still managed to win the game by 11 points. Bama shot just 30% from three-point land, converting on 6 of 20. Pair that with only shooting 38% from the field overall, and you may wonder how this game was won. The answer is defense.

Alabama’s defense forced Kentucky (5-10, 4-4) to take tough, contested shots all night, never giving them anything easy.
