Kentucky vs. Alabama Predictions/Updates (SEC Quarterfinals)

[16thBBall Fan]

The Cats (22-10) will take on #4 seed Alabama (24-7) in the last quarterfinal game of the day. It should be a good one. The Cats really need Butler to be able to play I think to have a shot against the Bama guards. Hey we once again won a game in the SEC tournament it had been a while. Go Cats!!

Not a good match-up for UK especially with Butler likely out tomorrow. 

I can see Cats running out of gas in the second half after the emotional game they played against Oklahoma.

I so hate to agree.

The SEC needs to start these games earlier. UK's game last night ended after 1am. They probably didn't have heads hitting the pillow until 2/2:30 this morning.

2:00/2:30 is probably being generous. You would be jacked up after that for a while.

In fairness to last night, the 2OT game messed up some of the scheduling. But as I've noted repeadetly, college basketball has a major problem with game lengths. Set aside the late start, the UK game last night was just under 2.5 hours. This is becoming the norm, though I am not sure the powers that be can wrap their head around the fact these games are lasting just as long as NBA games, who play 8 minutes more a contest.

I was there last night and that’s exactly when my head hit the pillow. No telling for the players.

Cats 80

As expected,  Butler is officially out for the game tonight.

Kentucky 92-89.

Tip should be just before 10:00 tonight a lot better. Florida just defeated Missouri 95-81.

I am not sure what else Carr could do to draw a charge. I thought it was a bad call by Doug Shows!

[16thBBall Fan]

My goodness so far, the man-to-man defense has been horrible! Bama has gone 0-4 from 3 and 6 of 7 on layups. The defense is going to have to get a lot better or play some zone and just hope Bama is not hitting tonight. Chandler and Perry are going to struggle guarding Sears and Philon. At the under 16 media timeout, it is tied at 14.

Another terrible call not counting that basket by Doug Shows! It was one last night for Oklahoma! At least it did not cost us 2 points.

Replay caught Pope singing that old Salt n Pepa song "Push It."

We might beat Alabama 3 out of 10 times with a full roster.  Maybe 1 out of 10 as we are now.
