Scores and Post Game Reports
The Alabama Crimson Tide came into Rupp Arena on a 3-game skid while the Kentucky Wildcats have won their last 3 in a row. Alabama jumped out to an early lead for about half of the first half, but Kentucky eventually took the lead. The Wildcats were not able to put Alabama away in the first half, but did lead the rest of the half. The score at half-time was 31-24 in favor of the UK Wildcats.
The second half started at a slow pace just as the first half had ended. The Wildcats were able to maintain the lead throughout the rest of the basketball game, but Alabama made several mini-runs to get close. Alabama was not able to sustain a good enough run to get them over the hump. John Wall had a big scoring game, but had a lot of turnovers as well. The final score of the basketball game was 66 to 55 in favor of the Kentucky Wildcats.
Top Performers for Kentucky were:
John Wall - 22 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals (6 turnovers)
DeMarcus Cousins - 16 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block
Patrick Patterson - 9 points, 4 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block
DeAndre Liggins - 8 points, 7 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 assist, 1 block
Eric Bledsoe - 8 points, 4 assists (3 turnovers)
This was just one of those ugly basketball games that could easily be forgotten in the near future. Both teams were not very impressive, but Kentucky was able to pull off the win. There will be games like this and it is important that Kentucky comes out on top.
Kentucky’s next basketball game is on 13 February, 2010 at 9:00 p.m. (EST) against the Tennessee Volunteers in Rupp Arena.
