TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Forget history, Nate Oats was more concerned with correcting the present. Following back-to-back losses to ranked teams, No. 4 Alabama needed a response during Saturday’s matchup against No. 17 Kentucky.
The Crimson Tide snapped its two-game skid with a 96-83 victory over the Wildcats, and Oats broke a program record in the process. Saturday’s victory marks Oats’ 26th win over an Associated Press top-25 opponent. He now stands alone for most such wins in program history.
Alabama’s win on Saturday was its eighth ranked victory of the current campaign, breaking the single-season mark set by Oats’ 2022-23 team.
