Booker, Balance Pace Cats to 70-48 Win at Alabama
Devin Booker scored 13 points and No. 1 Kentucky coasted to its second straight lopsided Southeastern Conference win with a 70-48 victory over Alabama on Saturday. The Wildcats (17-0, 4-0 SEC) withstood an early second-half rally by the Crimson Tide (12-5, 2-2) before brushing off the potential challenge. The win gives Kentucky the program's third-best start. It wasn't a laugher like Tuesday night's 86-37 win over Missouri on Tuesday night, but the bigger, deeper Wildcats easily overwhelmed an Alabama team that had won six of its last seven games.
