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.

Oats and the No. 7 Crimson Tide (12-2, 2-0) will host unranked Kentucky (8-4) on Saturday afternoon. The Wildcats have won two straight, including a 74-71 decision over LSU at Rupp Arena on Tuesday.
