| MBB/WBB Late Second Half Run Lifts No. 9 Alabama Over Kentucky, 70-59

[EasyTider]

This team seems to be determined to catch that first L in league play. Luckily, this ain’t your daddy’s Kentucky basketball team.

It feels like Primo or Petty is going to have to make a big shot or 2 for Bama to win this one....

6’1 driving the lane against 6’7....odds are slim you make the basket.

Hit a #$ %(&*##(&#%Q#% lay up!!!!!

 

[It Takes Eleven]

From a maturity and learning perspective, it's probably not a bad thing to lose at home to a team you handled on the road - while talking trash. I'd much rather it be Kentucky than LSU.

That said, let's win this.

Turnovers missed layups and play'n like the harlem globetrotters is going to cost us this game.

Well, it looks like Bama has barely pulled this one out. Hope this is the wake up call they needed. OU will not be nearly as easy as UK should have been.

Did Prick Vitale kiss some KY ass or what??

Good lord it was sickening. This team played poorly but still won. No way they would have been able to do this in the past. Trying to find the positive. Great D effort and free throw shooting. Offense struggled big time. Nice to complain about a win for the Basketball program.

Sloppy play, cold from beyond, cold in the paint...still won by 11. I'll take it.

Roll Tide! Herb is a warrior. Team found a way, played great defense and hit their foul shots.

Bama travels to take on a hot Oklahoma team on Saturday...

In basketball I HATE the cats awesome to beat them twice this year!!

Mizzou is at auburn tonight, game just started. An auburn wins helps Alabama, but I'm not advocating rooting for them.

First time to beat them twice in a season in 32 years, per Chris Stewart...

I missed most of the game due to my son's game, but it doesn't appear we shot well. I will tell you one thing though, we shot well from the charity stripe which used to doom our teams. Not going to complain about an off night shooting, because you just can't maintain the clip we were running at. We are finding ways to win when one part of our game lacks. That's how you become a Champion. Lots of complaining, but we lost these games for years, so it's nice to win two in a row like this to show true growth as a whole. We just swept Kentucky! Roll Tide.

Calipari wanted this game bad after Bama waxed them in Lexington and talked trash directly to him. Have not seen him this animated all year, granted I have watched very little (none) of UK other than their games versus Bama.

Oh and could Vitale have been any more irritating and a UK homer? See what it feels like for other fanbases when it comes to Bama football.
