Inside of Rupp Arena was, arguably, the most fun experience of Kentucky’s home basketball slate. Inside of a packed arena a fan hit a half-court shot to win $10,000, everybody in the arena won a free chicken and biscuit from Chik-Fil-A, Bam Adebayo was the “Y”, and even Derek Willis came out and had some very Derek Willis moments. Everything felt right today.
Oh, and the ‘Cats pulled away at the end of the game with a strong victory to add to their NCAA Tournament resume.
Kentucky defeated Alabama on this dreary afternoon 81-71 behind strong performances by virtually every Wildcat.
