GOG 2009-10 #23: Alabama

Kentucky is about to enter the most difficult stretch of the season with 2 games against Tennessee, @Miss. St, and @Vandy. While Alabama isn't quite on par with those squads, this is a much improved Crimson Tide team with some solid wins. It should be a good test for the Cats.

Series History:


This is the 134th matchup between Alabama and UK. UK leads the series 98 - 35 and has won 3 in a row against the Tide.
