BOL Basketball Show: Alabama looking to bounce back at Kentucky
The Alabama men’s basketball team is coming off its first loss since the end of November, as the No. 4 Crimson Tide fell on its home court, 74-64, to No. 21 Ole Miss on Tuesday night.
Alabama turned the ball over a season-high 21 times and only recorded four offensive rebounds in the loss to the Rebels. The Tide also made just five of its 20 attempts from 3-point range and saw its 8-game winning streak snapped. Following the 10-point loss, UA coach Nate Oats called the team’s effort in a battle for first place in the SEC “disgusting.”
The Tide (14-3, 3-1 SEC) will look to bounce back from its third loss of the season, but it will be a challenge to do so. Next up for Oats and Alabama is a top-10 matchup with the No. 8 Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday, January 18, in Lexington, Kentucky (11 a.m. CT on ESPN).
