Bama Basketball Breakdown: #16 Kentucky

Alabama heads to the nearly-invulnerable Rupp Arena to face the SEC's top team

After a disheartening loss that brought the Crimson Tide back down to Earth on Saturday, Avery Johnson will have to rally his troops quickly before they take on arguably their toughest test of the season: traveling to Lexington to face the sixteenth-ranked Kentucky Wildcats (20-7, 10-4 SEC). The current leader in the conference standings, the Wildcats almost never lose at home, especially in conference play. John Calipari's team is undefeated at Rupp Arena this season, and their last loss at home against an SEC opponent came nearly two years ago, when the Arkansas Razorbacks went into Lexington and beat the 'Cats 71-67 in overtime.
