Kentucky faced off against #4 Alabama in their fifth game of the season against an AP top 15 team, and their third-straight at home, which marked the first time

The Wildcats and Crimson Tide, both ranked among the top 10 in the two major polls (the USA TODAY Coaches and the Associated Press) square off today at Rupp Arena. They double as the two highest-scoring teams in the SEC: Alabama is tied for first nationally (alongside Iowa) at 89.

The Crimson Tide bounced back from a midweek loss with a massive win at Rupp Arena behind a career day from Grant Nelson.

Grant Nelson erupted for 25 points and Mark Sears added 24 as the Crimson Tide (15-3 overall, 4-1 SEC) defeated the Kentucky Wildcats, 102-97, at Rupp Arena. Alabama’s victory came four days after an ugly 74-64 loss to the Ole Miss Rebels at Coleman Coliseum.

Monday’s new AP Top 25 Men’s College Basketball Poll saw the Alabama Crimson Tide in the same spot as last week. Alabama (15-3 overall, 4-1 SEC) stayed at No. 4 in the new AP Poll following their 74-64 loss to Ole Miss and 102-97 bounce-back over Kentucky at Rupp Arena on Saturday.

No. 6 Kentucky won at No. 14 Mississippi State ( 95-90). Dropped to No. 8 due to a loss at Georgia the prior week, UK then came home to beat No. 11 Texas A&M (81-69) but lost 102-97 to No. 4 Alabama.

Alabama underwent a rollercoaster of a week, dropping their midweek matchup against then-No. 21 Ole Miss in a sloppy 74-64 loss, followed by an impressive 102-97 victory over the then-No. 8 Kentucky Wildcat—their first victory in Rupp Arena for the Tide against a top-ten Wildcats squad since 2002.

The Crimson Tide are set to host Vanderbilt Tuesday night, an identical setup to last Tuesday's 74-64 home loss to Ole Miss. It was a season low in points and "Blue Collar" hustle points, which is tallied by the Alabama coaching staff.
