One of the best games of the college basketball season took place on Saturday as Nate Oats and No. 4 Alabama went on the road to Rupp Arena to take on Mark Pope and No. 8 Kentucky in Lexington. The two teams battled back and forth in a high-scoring affair before Alabama eventually made a few more plays to come out on top 102-97.

Sears and Auburn transfer Aden Holloway hit 3s to help spark a 11-2 run that gave the Tide a 67-60 lead with 11:40 remaining. Later, with the score tied at 81, Alabama went on a 9-0 run that was capped off by back-to-back 3s from Chris Youngblood and freshman Labaron Philon.
