Cats travel to the always hostile Coleman coliseum to take on the tide.
Same situation as the first time these 2 teams played. Alabama had a mid-week game, and lost to Ole Miss, pretty embarrassingly at home, then went to Rupp and hung 102 on Kentucky, who was coming off a big mid-week win at that time. Bama loses at Mizzou the other night who hung 110 on them, and Kentucky coming off an impressive victory.
Haven't seen or heard any updates on Butler & Robinson, sure seems like Robinson may be out the rest of the regular season at least, maybe even Butler too, would you think that would be the best option moving forward? I mean Kentucky is a lock for the tournament due to their resume, maybe keep playing Perry, Noah, and Chandler just to give them more quality reps and improve their confidence more? Just a few thoughts.
This will obviously be a tough test on the road, as Alabama is one of the best offensive teams in the country, it's either 3's or driving to the basket for layups and trying to get to the foul line, and with how atrocious Kentucky's defense has been, Alabama has the ability to expose them very quickly, but Kentucky has the offense as well to keep up. They really have to find ways to get Brea open, he is a knock down shooter but really can't create anything for himself, he is going to be a key factor in this game, and how well Perry can handle the pressure from Bama guards if Butler is a no go.
Bama has lost 2 in a row so they are reeling, Kentucky got a much needed win against Vandy, lets just hope UK can keep this momentum rolling.
What's everyone's thoughts?

Only way I play Robinson and Butler is if they are close to 100%. Like you said they are a lock for the NCAA and we need them healthy to make a run. If we would have lost to Vandy then I would say we would need a win now but that at least helped put that off a bit. Going to be tough on the road at Bama but we have seen them do it before. Thing that helps us more in this game is the style of play. Alabama likes to play the same way we do.

I hate everything about the state of Alabama. But no one hates like ... the state of Alabama.
Alabama is listed as one of the top 6 most hateful states in the nation.
#5 : most hateful internet comments
#9 : Most hate groups per capita
#2: Most discrimination cases
#8: Highest rate of violent crimes
#2: Rate of gun death in the nation
#1: Most opioid prescriptions dispensed per capita
#4: Most time spent on internet porn sites
Alabama continues the hateful legacy of haters like George Wallace and Roy Moore. Btw, four of the six most hateful states in the nation are in the Southeast.(Shocker!) The most hateful place in the country----(drum roll) ... The state of TENNESSEE.
We have beaten the hateful Tennesseans twice. Can we beat the hate-filled Alabamans once??? It doesn't look promising, but love always overcomes hate. Pope is obviously a lover, not a master hater. Maybe love will win the day in this one. Didn't an Alabama player from a few years ago lend a gun to someone who shot and killed a guy??? Roll Tide! I mean, Roll Over & Die!!! GO CATS!!!!!!!!
