With road games at Tennessee, Auburn, Mississippi State and Florida on the SEC schedule, Saturday’s trip to Tuscaloosa presented one of the better opportunities to pick up a league win outside of Rupp Arena. No road game in the conference is easy, but Saturday’s game is one of the easier ones (or least difficult, I should say) the Cats will see.
Throw in the fact the game wasn’t a sell-out, which is extremely rare when Kentucky comes to town, and Alabama is not a great team. Athletic and streaky, yes, but not great by any means.
