Here's a look at how many times Alabama basketball has swept Kentucky, which the Crimson Tide can do with a win Saturday

No. 4 Alabama overcame a slow start against No. 17 Kentucky before rolling to a 96-83 victory vs. the short-handed Wildcats inside Coleman Coliseum on Saturday. Kentucky led by as many as 12 in the first half before Alabama outscored the road team 78-53 the rest of the way for the Crimson Tide's second victory vs.

A 103-97 win at Kentucky on Jan. 18 jumpstarted a seven-game win streak for the Tide, which was broken in back-to-back losses against Auburn and Missouri entering Saturday night. The catalyst in those defeats were slow starts — Alabama dug early, double-digit first-half deficits which resulted in consecutive wire-to-wire losses.
