What if I told you Alabama would hold Kentucky to 40% shooting, hold UK under 70 points, out rebound the Cats, and have Charles Bediako score 12 points and grab eight rebounds? You would say the Tide most likely would win the game, right?
Not so fast, my friend.
Not when Bama shot 28% from the field and 10% on 3-30 from three point range, as two of the team’s best outside threats combined to go 0-10 from deep. Despite playing good defense and winning the battle of the boards, the Wildcats prevailed over the Tide by a score of 66-55.
