Can Kentucky slow Alabama's high-powered offense?
After the painful loss to LSU, the Kentucky Wildcats have another tough test coming up as the Alabama Crimson Tide are coming to town.
Alabama has the #1 overall offense in KenPom and scores the most points in all of college basketball. Nate Oats and his players live and die by the three-ball. They could shoot anywhere from 35 to 40 threes in this game, and perhaps even more.
Some might think this philosophy isn't sustainable, but it has led to an 11-2 record in the SEC, which has the Crimson Tide in first with only five games left.
If Kentucky wants to secure themselves with a double bye in the SEC Tournament, this is a must-win game for the Wildcats.
These were the topics today for Andrew Stefaniak and Carson Nash on the Wildcats Today Podcast. They both feel Kentucky will win this game in Rupp Arena, but it will be close, and a lot of points will be scored.
