Kentucky couldn’t get enough stops or score enough points to defend Cawood’s Court against Alabama on Saturday, losing to the fourth-ranked Crimson Tide. Alabama lit up Rupp Arena to the tune of 102 points (more than 12 points above the season average) in the 102-97 win. The loss was Kentucky’s first at home under Mark Pope.

Now that it’s over, join KSR for a live Rapid Reaction outside the arena on KSR’s YouTube channel. Drew Franklin, Jack Pilgrim, Zack Geoghegan, Jacob Polacheck, and special guest Josh Harrellson have takeaways and sadness from the disappointing loss.
