Two of the top teams in the SEC will go head-to-head on Saturday night as Kentucky hits the road to take on Alabama in what promises to be a high-stakes college basketball showdown.

Alabama enters the matchup with a 21-5 record and a 10-3 record in SEC play. However, the Crimson Tide are in a bit of a funk at the moment, entering this weekend on a two-game losing streak. Those losses came at the hands of rival Auburn last weekend 94-85 and then to Missouri on Wednesday, 110-98.
The Crimson Tide’s schedule doesn’t get any easier going forward. Even after the Kentucky game, Alabama’s last four games of the season will be against ranked teams. Such is life in the loaded SEC this year.
