Alabama Upsets No. 12 Kentucky In Tuscaloosa, 68-66

The Kentucky Wildcats are off to a rough start in the SEC, dropping their first two road games, including a 68-66 loss to Alabama on Tuesday night. The Wildcats fell behind in the first half and didn’t wake up until the last 10 minutes, finally stringing together a run and clawing back into the game. In the end, though, they couldn’t finish the job, doomed by last-second steal by Alabama’s Ben Eblen on a sloppy play all-around.

The two road losses are a discouraging sign and put the Wildcats’ season in a perilous position just four games into the conference slate, according to SB Nation’s A Sea of Blue.

With just about six minutes to go, Alabama leads Kentucky, 61-55

Alabama is 6-11 from beyond the arc, including two big threes in a second half that pushed the lead to 16. Kentucky, on the other hand, has been stagnant on offense, unable to find an answer for Bama’s active zone defense. Only Doron Lamb, with 12 points, has been able to get it going on offense, with Terrence Jones adding eight points for the Wildcats.
