Well, that was a wild ride.

Through most of the first half, Alabama tried to run Kentucky off the Rupp Arena floor. Alabama’s Keon Ellis was having the game of his life with five made 3-pointers to get the Tide rolling out to a big lead.

But then Big Blue Nation’s coffee kicked in and the crowd propelled the Wildcats to a 15-2 run to close the half, giving the home team a 47-46 advantage at the break.

See more behind the up-and-down first 20 minutes in the box score and then get back to whatever seat you were in for the last five mintes.
