I don’t need to tell you that the mood around Kentucky Basketball is a little different these days. The Cats fell out of the AP Poll for the first time since the 2020-21 season following last week’s loss to Missouri. On Tuesday, Kentucky notched a much-needed win over LSU, but those baby steps of progress are about to be put to the test. Tomorrow, the Cats face the No. 7 Alabama Crimson Tide in a sold-out Coleman Coliseum, the first of two road games vs. top ten opponents over the next week.
Today, Alabama coach Nate Oats was asked about this Kentucky team and its “restless” Big Blue Nation.
