Alabama plays slower than Kentucky, averaging just 64.6 possessions per game to Kentucky’s 71.2, so I would expect them to try to slow things down a little to have a chance. Hence a game in the 90’s is probably unlikely. I would say low 80’s at best unless Kentucky shoots absolutely lights out. Here are the player stats for this game. You can tell me if you think they are intimidating or not.
