In yet another road game against a sure-to-be motivated opponent, the Kentucky Wildcats invade Tuscaloosa to take on the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday. ESPN has the 8 p.m. telecast.

The Crimson Tide has been on a roller-coaster ride this season, beating three of last year’s Final Four teams (Gonzaga, Houston and Baylor) while losing to SEC doormats Missouri and Georgia. But you can bet Coleman Coliseum will be rocking when Nate Oats club, just 4-5 in the SEC, takes on John Calipari’s Cats, 7-2 in the conference.
