Bio Blast

After a two-point loss to No. 23 Vanderbilt, Alabama Crimson leads Tide to Memorial Coliseum to take on Kentucky in Wildcats’ first top 25 matchup during the SEC game. Unfortunately, the tide comes looking for redemption despite defeating ‘cats with 17 last season in Tuscaloosa. Plus, Alabama boasts one of the more veteran lists in the country with five graduate students and only seven underclassman on 14-woman lineup.

These two teams are very similar on paper. Kentucky average 79.0 points per Match. Alabama? 79.5 points per Match. Kentucky shoots 46.1% from the field. Alabama shoots on the other page 46.3%. It’s no doubt about it Kenny Brooks And Wildcats have been preparing for this day since the beginning of the season. Especially since Brooks and Alabama -Head coach Kristy Curry has only met once before. In 2018, Virginia Tech and the tide fought it in the WNIT quarterfinals. Brooks came out victorious.

Alabama’s potential start five average currently 56.5 points per Match and a full 42.4% from the field, 37% from three and 62.2% from the free -throwing line. It is safe to say that Curry has his hands full of talent, given that she consistently runs a rotation of nine to 10-woman.

The original accessibility report

From this season in the conference, SEC teams are required to release an accessibility report showing players and their injury status for their upcoming games.

Here it is Initial report for Kentucky-Alabama:

The final accessibility report will be available closer to playing time.

** Note: Kentucky’s Dominika Paurová is not listed as “out” because she is completely exempt from the season due to an ACL tower she suffered during the peak season. Jordan Obi, who also suffered an lower leg injury in the summer, can return to the hardwood this season, which is why her name is displayed on the accessibility report. **
