The Wildcats and Crimson Tide, both ranked among the top 10 in the two major polls (the USA TODAY Coaches and the Associated Press) square off today at Rupp Arena. They double as the two highest-scoring teams in the SEC: Alabama is tied for first nationally (alongside Iowa) at 89.

Sears and Auburn transfer Aden Holloway hit 3s to help spark a 11-2 run that gave the Tide a 67-60 lead with 11:40 remaining. Later, with the score tied at 81, Alabama went on a 9-0 run that was capped off by back-to-back 3s from Chris Youngblood and freshman Labaron Philon.

One of the best games of the college basketball season took place on Saturday as Nate Oats and No. 4 Alabama went on the road to Rupp Arena to take on Mark Pope and No. 8 Kentucky in Lexington. The two teams battled back and forth in a high-scoring affair before Alabama eventually made a few more plays to come out on top 102-97.
