On Thursday, Kentucky Women’s Basketball hosted its first Top 25 matchup of the season against the Alabama Crimson Tide. Despite Alabama’s best efforts, the Wildcats came out victorious at Memorial Coliseum.
The game started as we all expected. Scrappy. With foul trouble looming on the horizon for both squads, the teams were forced to look to their benches. Alabama is used to doing that. Kentucky, on the other hand, isn’t.
After the first quarter, and an unknown scoreboard malfunction, Alabama led the ‘Cats, 21-15. Sarah Ashlee Barker proved to be exactly what she’s described as: a lethal shooter with high basketball IQ. The Alabama guard finished the first with 12 points on 4-6 FG (2-3 3FG). She added two quick rebounds. However, the rest of Alabama’s early points came from Zaay Green and Essence Cody, who combined for seven on 3-6 (50%) from the field. Georgia Amoore led the ‘Cats with six points on 3-5 (60%) from the field. P Clara Strack added four Amelia Hassett grabbed three, and Teonni Key earned two from a pair of free throws.
