Final from Tuscaloosa in a match-up of Kentucky's most recent and next opponents.

Tide jumped out to a 48-31 lead in this one and were led in scoring by Dioubate and Holloway's 22 apiece. Sears had 21 and Nelson had a relatively quiet 10 & 8.

Vandy shot 42% on over 25 three point attempts. Jason Edwards had 21 and Tyler Nickel had 19 to lead the way. Boston College transfer Devin McGlockton had 10 & 14 and keeping the 6'7, 230 forward off the board may prove difficult for the Wildcats as Oweh gives up a few inches and Williams gives up some quickness (if Pope even chooses to burn him with that defensive match-up).

Alabama has that similar style that Kentucky does offensively, but it seems like they do it on a more efficient level.

It's either 3's or layups for this team, but the looks they get on either are quality, open looks. Nate Oats is one of the innovative offensive coaches in all of the sport. Another good win for the Tide.

As for Vandy, they're in the same position as Bama was last week, bad loss and have to play Kentucky Saturday, this time on their home floor where it's never been easy to get a win.
