Alabama dominates Kentucky in the SEC quarter -finals, progress in Florida

Nashville, Tenn.-Die Alabama Crimson Tide, provided a dominant performance against the Kentucky Wildcats in the second-finals and won a decisive 99-70 victory. The game, which is often referred to as “Kentucky Invitational” due to the strong presence of the wildcats, saw Alabama dominated almost the entire 40 minutes.

“These boys played great. It is the best game that Jarins played all year round. I think he reaches at the right time,” said a head coach of Alabama, Nate Hafer. “We deserved a double look at what I helped tonight. Kentucky played last night and they didn't look as fresh as we were,” said Oats.

The victory was Alabama's third victory against Kentucky this season, a performance that was not lost in the team. “It is a really great performance because they are a big blue blood and we are a new blue blood. So, you know, it feels good to beat her three times,” said Alabama Guard Mark Sears.

The performance of the Crimson Tide was strengthened by several players who achieved double digits, which shows the depth of the team. “It seemed as if everyone had a good game,” said Alabama striker Grant Nelson. “Our last two games really built up our self -confidence,” said Nelson.

Alabama now meets the Florida Gators, who previously spoiled Alabama's senior night in Tuscaloosa. The Matchup is to take place immediately after the game of the Auburn Tigers against the voluntary Tennessee, led by head coaches Bruce Pearl and Rick Barnes. Both Alabama and Florida will compete for a place in the SEC tournament championship game.
