It was a big day for the Crimson Tide. No. 7 Alabama embarrassed Kentucky today, 78-52, the Cats’ fifth defeat of the season.
Afterward, Alabama’s Charles Bediako, Brandon Miller, and Mark Sears met with the media to discuss the win, Sears wearing a hard hat, which the Crimson Tide give to the most “blue collar” player of the game. Nate Oats stepped up to the podium next, praising his team for sticking to the game plan to shut down Oscar Tshiebwe and the crowd for helping push the Tide to the win.
