No. 1 Kentucky at Alabama (3:00 ESPN)

[pmull]

Alabama will return home to Coleman Coliseum when it hosts the No. 1-ranked Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday, Jan. 17, at 3 p.m. CT on ESPN.                                                               

Saturday's game will mark the 10th time in program era that the Tide will play against the Associated Press' No. 1-ranked team. Alabama has a record of 4-5 when playing the top-ranked team in the country.

It also marks the fourth time Alabama has played host to the nation's No. 1 team, holding a 2-1 record in previous contests. The last time it occurred came on Jan. 8, 1994 when the Tide defeated then-No. 1 Arkansas, 66-64.

Saturday's game is officially sold out, it was announced on Jan. 7. It will mark the Tide's first sellout since playing in front of a full house two years ago against the same Kentucky Wildcats. Alabama won that contest, 59-55, on Jan. 22, 2013.

It won't be easy today but just maybe the Bama boys can send them home the same way they sent them home 2 years ago.

I am looking forward to seeing a full house crowd on my TV screen. It has to motivate the team playing in front of 15,000 at home.

Jamos, I assume you are going to the game. Have fun.

It's going to be a great game, and I hope Bama gives KY its best shot.  Kentucky was sluggish in initial SEC play, but recently dominated Missouri.  So maybe they fixed those issues.  After KY's first two SEC games, I thought Bama had a good chance in this game.  I think Bama can still win, but it is going to take an all out effort.

Texas A&M beat LSU in Baton Rouge. Our A&M win is looking good as of now.

That was ugly. I hope we play better on the 2nd half. UK out playing and out hustling us. We look intimadated.

Looking better early in the second half. But Bama has a long way to catch up to this KY team.

I thought we were nervous & hesitant, not a good place to be. Intimidation was probably the reason.

UK was unbeatable today. They took us out of our game and they shot lights out. Someone will beat them but not when they played like today.
