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.
