Kentucky hasn’t performed well on the road this season, and tomorrow could be the biggest test yet. The Cats face No. 7 Alabama in a sold-out Coleman Coliseum at 1 p.m. ET. It will be Nate Oats’ sixth time playing Kentucky as head coach of the Crimson Tide. He’s 2-3 against the Cats, 1-1 in Tuscaloosa. So far this year, Alabama has only lost to UConn and Gonzaga, both ranked teams, and is undefeated at home, most recently beating Ole Miss 84-62.
“I’m looking forward to the game,” Oats told reporters today. “We’ve had big games here. I think this one will be as big as any this year.
