No way Perry can guard Sears!

I am glad we have this game as a warmup to the NFL games today.

27-26 Cats!!

An excellent 5 minutes stretch for the Cats between timeouts they were able to get Butler back on the floor and the Cats outscored Bama 18-13 in this stretch.

Cats lead 40-37 with 3:16 remaining in the first half.

Alabama leads the Cats 47-45 at the half. Overall, a good half for the Cats other than a few breakdowns on the defensive end.

Intense first half.  This one could go either way.

I think Butler has done a good job when he has been on him but I agree that Brea has struggled with him as well.
