Kentucky starters shut down by No. 7 Alabama

Kentucky basketball suffered a grueling 78-52 loss to the Crimson Tide who were able to silence multiple Wildcats at Coleman Coliseum.

Kentucky’s starting lineup consisting of Oscar Tshiebwe, Jacob Toppin, Sahvir Wheeler, Cason Wallace and Chris Livingston had their worst combined offensive game of the season.

Coming off of an offensively successful game against LSU, Alabama’s blow to Kentucky’s shooting seemed to only rattle the Cats more as the game went on.

Tshiebwe notched a single basket and two free throws for the entirety of the game. The reigning consensus National Player of the Year has been averaging almost 17 points and 13.
