When it rains it pours ā or in Alabama basketballās case, it snows. After suffering its second straight defeat at Missouri on Wednesday, the Crimson Tide was forced to spend an extra snowy day on the road due to plane troubles.
The extended trip led to a light week of practice, as the team didnāt work out on Thursday before taking it easier than usual on Friday. Head coach Nate Oats is hoping that break in action will give his team the boost it needs as it prepares for what feels like a must-win game against Kentucky on Saturday.
No. 4 Alabama (21-5, 10-3) is looking to get back in the SEC regular-season title race while also hoping to hold onto its projected No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. Meanwhile, injury-riddled No. 17 Kentucky (18-8, 7-6) is trying to finish off the regular season in one piece.
The two teams faced off earlier this season, as the Tide outlasted the Wildcats in a 102-97 thriller inside Rupp Arena. Alabama will be looking to beat Kentucky twice in the same regular season for the first time since 2021.
