Nate Oats makes striking comparison between fans of Kentucky basketball and Alabama football

Nate Oats sees the pressure that Kentucky’s basketball program is under.

As the Alabama head basketball coach Oats sees the expectations put on the Crimson Tide’s football program every season where anything other than a championship is considered a disappointment.

In his eyes the fans are just spoiled.

Nate Oats on Kentucky basketball fans being restless with this year's team: "They're spoiled. It's probably like #Alabama football fans, to be honest with you. We're not in the College Football Playoff, and everybody's upset and acting like it's a bad year."
