At The Half: Alabama 35, Kentucky 24
Kentucky fell behind early in Tuscaloosa when Alabama opened the game on an eight-point run and led by as many as nine in the first five minutes of action. But the Tide eventually cooled while Sahvir Wheeler and Antonio Reeves carried Kentucky’s offense to a first-half comeback that brought Kentucky back into the fight and within a point with five minutes to go before halftime.
But with Cason Wallace on the bench in foul trouble and Oscar Tshiebwe playing the worst half we’ve ever seen from him, Alabama pushed back ahead on a 14-5 run to where we are now at intermission with Alabama leading Kentucky, 35-24.

The story of Kentucky’s struggles begins with Oscar Tshiebwe who is a -13 in 10 minutes played and 0-for-4 from the field with two rebounds and two turnovers. He looks completely out of sorts and unengaged and may need to stay seated in the second half.
In the money matchup, Jacob Toppin has done pretty well defending Brandon Miller, but Toppin is 0-for-6 with no points through 20 minutes.
Leading Kentucky, Wheeler and Reeves have 10 points apiece.
