The Kentucky Wildcats were on the road for the third straight Saturday as they faced off with the Alabama Crimson Tide.
It was a rough start for the Cats, as the Tide jumped out to a quick 9-1 lead, forcing Calipari to take a timeout.
The Cats were able to respond by answering with a 16-7 run to grab a 17-16 lead with just over eight minutes left in the half.
Each team started to score a bit more down the stretch of the half, but it was Kentucky that was able to get a little separation, taking a 33-27 lead into the break.
