Avery Johnson is seeking his first win against Kentucky as Alabama’s head coach. These are the numbers that will dictate the outcome of this afternoon’s game between the Cats and the Crimson Tide:
2.3 — Blocks per game by Bama’s Donta Hall, fifth in the SEC. He only needs one more to become the seventh Alabama player to block 200 shots.
3 — Consecutive years Kentucky has eliminated Alabama in the SEC Tournament. That doesn’t really determine what will happen on the court today, but it might provide a little extra motivation for Bama.
