John Calipari recaps win over Alabama, defends Hamidou Diallo

The Kentucky Wildcats are now 18-9 thanks to an 81-71 win over Alabama.

Kentucky started off with good energy thanks to a powerful Nick Richards dunk, who followed up with another thunderous dunk both assists from Alexander. Alabama was able to knock down a couple shots and took a 7-6 lead at the 16 minute mark of the first half.

Coming out of the timeout, Kentucky went on a nice little 7-2 run sparked by a Gabriel 3-point basket. That didn’t stop Bama, however, as they were able to take the lead again at the 11 minute mark at 16-15.
