FINAL: Kentucky's impressive 2nd half run takes down Alabama

After trailing by as many as 13 points late in the first half, Kentucky went on a national championship-level run.

Despite missing both of its starting backcourt players in TyTy Washington and Sahvir Wheeler, the No. 4 Wildcats demolished No. 25 Alabama over the course of the final 25 minutes to secure a 90-81 win against the Crimson Tide on Saturday afternoon in Rupp Arena. Kentucky was down 41-28 with roughly five minutes left in the first half before taking a one-point lead into the half. From then on, it was all ‘Cats everything.

In fact, it was the Kellan Grady Show for Kentucky, as he dropped in a season-high 25 points on seven-made triples, which tied his season-high.
