Halftime thoughts: Kentucky is firing on all cylinders early against Alabama

Kentucky is leading by 16 against Alabama at the half.

If you are a fan of defense, this Kentucky/Alabama game is not the one for you, as 100 points were scored in the first half. 

Kentucky leads the Alabama Crimson Tide 58-42 after shooting 64.5% from the field and 58.3% from deep in the first 20. 

Antonio Reeves leads the Wildcats with 15 points at the break as he was 4-6 from the field, 2-3 from three, and 5-6 from the free throw line. Justin Edwards was incredible in the first half, scoring 13 points while going a perfect 5-5 from the field and 3-3 from deep. 

Kentucky held Alabama to only four made threes in the first half, which is a recipe for a victory. 

When you play Alabama, no lead is big enough, so Kentucky needs to come out hot in the second half. The first four minutes will be critical for Kentucky to get the win. 

If the Wildcats keep shooting the basketball like they have Kentucky will take down the SEC's top team.
