That’s because Alabama rolled into Lexington on Tuesday night and delivered the Wildcats the largest home loss of the John Calipari era, beating Kentucky 85-65.
The loss dropped Kentucky to 4-7 on the season and improved Alabama’s record to 10-3. This game marked the fifth win in a row for the Tide and secured first place in the SEC for Nate Oats’ team. Alabama is 5-0 in SEC action and is the only team to beat Tennessee this season.
