Alabama Basketball: Too much blue for shorthanded Tide

There was good and news and bad news for Alabama basketball Saturday in the SEC Tournament. The bad was, of course, getting booted from the SEC Tournament in the semi-final round. Given the earlier bad news that Donta Hall had to miss the game due to a concussion, the outcome was not a surprise.

The Wildcats almost never lose in the semi-final of a SEC Tournament. An injury-depleted Tide, playing three games in three days began the game with a decided disadvantage. Credit goes to Kentucky who won from suffocating defense and torrid three-point shooting. The Cats shot 67 percent from outside the arc.
