With 2018 now in the rear-view mirror, the Crimson Tide (9-3) will open up 2019 with their biggest game of the season thus far, as the 13th-ranked Kentucky Wildcats (10-2) come to Tuscaloosa. It wasn’t always pretty, but finishing out 2018 with a nice little win streak got Alabama to where it needed to be in order to feel pretty good about controlling their own destiny regarding a repeat trip to the NCAA Tournament come March. 20 wins before the post-season should be enough for the Tide, so with the inclusion of the Baylor game for the SEC-Big 12 Challenge, Avery Johnson’s team needs to go 11-8 the rest of the way.
