Kentucky shooting is rough, but ours is also down a bit right now. 45% is low for us

Give KY credit they defended well especially from the 3 pt line.

Give KY credit they defended well especially from the 3 pt line.

45% FG% is right on season average.

3PT is down this game: .220 vs .348

That Shwiebwe or whatever is throwing people around in the paint and getting away with it. He should have 5 fouls already. I hate it when they let one player get away with such egregious fouls.

When was the last time we ever saw a Bama basketball team with a 20-point lead over UK?

 

[TerryP]

Oh no. Jimmy Dykes on the call. Mute day.

He is so clumsy using "Roll Tide" when "Crimson Tide" would flow.

"It's a six point streak for the Roll Tide."

LEXINGTON, Ky. – The Alabama men’s basketball team won its sixth consecutive game, and fifth-straight game to open Southeastern Conference play, with an impressive 85-65 victory over Kentucky on Tuesday night. The win not only snapped an eight-game losing streak in Rupp Arena for the Crimson Tide, but it was also the largest win by a UA team in Lexington since winning by 23 points (94-71) on Feb. 23, 1974

 

[PurlJam]

Yeah, what they said.

Also beat them again in January 2021...not as bad though... like 71-59 or something.

You've got your dates mixed up. Bama was 0-2 vs UK in '21-22.

 

[bama alum]

I didn't remember that. Okay, I'll ask about a thirty -point lead soon.

 

[TerryP]

I've never seen a 30 point lead.

Okay, just as an aside, this new Progressive commercial with Dr. Rick and (Tom?) in the elevator might be one the best in this series!

Look at the points to fouls ratio player to player:
