No. 13 Alabama at No. 17 Kentucky: College Basketball Highlights | CBS Sports

[@madisonlitteral1083]

I've been waiting on Edward's to play like this all season 🔥

[@chrisbailey9377]

The dunk at 6:26 had Jeff Sheppard written all over it. Looked just like his daddy.

[@bijouxdoum6199]

Reed Sheppard is everything you want in a basketball player. Gritty, unselfish, and takes smart shots. -Coming from a embarrassed Louisville fan😢

[@SnapsCFB]

Not a single college basketball team in America was beating Kentucky today. Holy shit.

[@jojames5162]

Everybody play they best against Alabama

[@joelspaulding5964]

​@@jojames5162No. Alabama is not a target for anyone in basketball.

[@SnapsCFB]

As an Alabama fan, hats off to them. Our defense is nothing to write home about, but damn their shot making was. Alabama’s quick trigger style on offense gives their opponent too many opportunities to strike back if they have lethal shooters. Kentucky has plenty of lethal shooters.

[@crmsntyde4ever428]

​@joelspaulding5964 Sorry to hurt your feelings Joel, but Bama has won more SEC games the last 5 years than ANY school in the conference...They got there asses kicked BIG TIME by the Cats, but it happens...And Kentucky is the ONLY "Blue Blood" University the SEC has in basketball (sorry Vols & AU fans because yall are nowhere close), so hats off to UK fans...The rest of yall are mediocre at best.

[@jojames5162]

@@joelspaulding5964 right the team who won the sec regular and tournament title 2 of the last three years isn’t a target.

man i’m excited to see which UK team shows up in march

[@JazzyHarley22]

Hopefully it’s this team! 💙💙

[@ReALiTeeChEkk]

Until they at least win 3 games in a row (which hasn't happened in the last 15 games since the SEC started) then i assume you will still see both UK teams in march. They have yet to prove they are capable of putting together even 3, let alone 4,5, or 6 wins in a row to make a deep run or win a tournament.

Didn’t we lose to LSU 2 days ago?

[@Wetrockstah2116]

@@yusufali2402 did you not read my comment? If this team shows up, the team that has put up over 100 points 5 times this year. That LSU game was some fluke BS..the refs were blowing whistles on every possession in the second half. Kind of hard to get into rhythm when every single time down the floor the officials call a foul. That game was a foul fest. LSU had attempted 26 free throws to Kentuckys 6 with 10 minutes left, after Kentucky went up 15 the refs literally took over the game. I've never seen anything like it. Was crazy. Looked alot like them officials were playing the spread

@@Wetrockstah2116 my friend you answered yourself first. Little little view. I haven’t seen anything like this, my friend you need to watch a lot of games because this happens all the time. I don’t know whether you’re too young or just being sarcasm but in sports generally refs gotta play their part either to bet or petty shit like control over the game. specially when it’s rival games or it’s close game. This is not to say get the “if” out but I myself didn’t watch that game so yes I wanted to make sure of whether we Lost or Not. Nothing biggie don’t get on your feelings.

[@crmsntyde4ever428]

Congrats to all of you UK fans...Easily the greatest performance offensively I've ever seen in all of my almost 50 yrs (yes I'm old) of watching college basketball... Before the game if someone would have told me that we'd score 95 points, I would have taken it & swore that we would have won by double digits...And what amazed me even more was the fact that as bad as we screwed up at times defensively, there was almost more times that we couldn't have covered the UK players any better...Regardless of my beloved Crimson Tide getting their asses kicked, it was actually fun to watch a team hitting on all cylinders like that... Lol, I started to just come in here and act like UF & AU fans and blame it ALL on the referees 😂...Best of luck the rest of the way Cats fans...Hell of a job

[@JazzyHarley22]

BBN here 💙 Thank you 😊 You guys deserve some respect too 💙 You guys fought a good fight. You guys had an injured player out if I’m correct and not every team can win all the time. That wouldn’t be fun lol. When our BBN plays and are like that from last nights game, it is fun to watch 😅💙 And good luck to you guys on your next game 💙

[@crmsntyde4ever428]

​@Bigrlboi1 Yes, we had a starter out with injury & a reserve that was suspended for a dumbass & pathetic elbow to the back of a UF player's head... BUT, even if both had played it would have made no difference whatsoever...Like I said, I've never in my life saw a basketball team shoot the ball as well for the entire game as yall did...Lol, I told myself at halftime that there was no chance that yall would shoot as well in the 2nd half as yall did the First...Good Grief, I ate my words because yall shot it even better in the 2nd... If an unbiased basketball fan was watching the game, I'm sure that they were glad that they could witness a team play as well as yall did...Hell, I thought that when yall emptied yalls bench that we could hopefully at least lose by less than 20...Wrong again!!!...Yalls friggin walk-ons couldn't miss either 😂...Congrats again on an amazing win...Best of luck the rest of the way, and hopefully we can meet again in the Championship Game of the SEC Tourney.

[@JazzyHarley22]

@@crmsntyde4ever428 We definitely love our boys 😅💙 But I do have to say this, we’ve had one hell of a roller coaster ride lol. Especially with our defense lol. We are just hoping (us fans lol) that Tuesday against Mississippi we bring that same fight. Our defense was better last night than I’ve personally seen all season. Our guys have the offense but need to work a bit more on defense. But hell Alabama has a great offense too and not gonna lie we were a bit nervous about playing Bama last night with their offense. If we allowed you guys to make one or two threes I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the other way around. Of course I bleed blue so I’m very proud (even win or loose) of how they played. Bama relies on 3’s more bc they can make them for sure. What surprised me also was that one basket that bounced off the scoreboard and into the basket 😂 I’m definitely positive nobody on both sides thought that would happen 😅 I admit I did scream out a holy fk wth when it did go in 😂 I just couldn’t believe it 😂 Even if Bama made that I’d say the same thing too 😅 But you guys played great too. I respect all the teams we play. All of them didn’t get this far for nothing. And of course every team has fans behind them that are proud of their teams too. Rightfully so. Kentucky plays a fast paced game and if we win or loose we still move on to the next game thrown at us. Shoot I’ve watched Bama play some past games and even rooted for them too. They’re just as fun to watch too when they get on a huge run! That’s facts. And again, well done bc you guys played a great game and never gave up. Takes real players with a lot of heart to do that.
