The No. 17 Kentucky Wildcats faced a tough challenge against the No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide, ultimately falling 96-83 in a high-paced SEC showdown. Despite a strong start, Kentucky couldn’t sustain their momentum, as Alabama’s offense and defensive adjustments proved too much to overcome.
The Kentucky Wildcats basketball team received positive updates on the injury status of Lamont Butler and Jaxson Robinson. Butler may return soon, while Robinson's timeline is uncertain but expected by the SEC Tournament. The team recently faced a loss against Alabama without these key players.
In a commanding display of both offensive and defensive prowess, the Alabama Crimson Tide triumphed over the Mercer Bears with a 52-7 victory on November 16, 2024, at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Improving their record to 8-2 and ranked No. 10 in the nation, Alabama dominated from the start, capitalizing on turnovers and outstanding performances by wide receiver Ryan Williams and quarterback Jalen Milroe. Despite a lone touchdown by Mercer in the first half, Alabama's defense remained steadfast, allowing only 120 yards of total offense. As Alabama shifts focus to Oklahoma, Mercer readies for Furman.
