The Kentucky men's basketball team (18-4, 8-2) is on a three-game winning streak heading into its matchup with Alabama on Saturday.
Alabama may be 4-5 in SEC play, but the Wildcats should not overlook the Tide's ability to catch its opponent sleeping. The Tide fell to No. 1 Auburn 100-81, but upset No. 4 Baylor 87-78 last week in the Big 12/SEC Challenge.
Against Vanderbilt on Wednesday, junior forward Keion Brooks posted his second consecutive 20-point game, hitting a series of clutch jumpers in the second half. Super senior guard Davion Mintz became the sixth Kentucky player to score at least 20 points in a game this season with a team-high 21 on 6-of-11 shooting, beat writer Jon Hale wrote.
