How to buy No. 17 Kentucky vs. No. 13 Alabama men's college basketball tickets

Two of the top teams in the Southeastern Conference are set to square off in Lexington this Saturday when the Kentucky Wildcats host the Alabama Crimson Tide for the first and only meeting during the regular season.

The Wildcats have been a bit off-kilter of late but still are ranked No. 17 in both the USA TODAY Sports Coaches and Associated Press polls riding an 18-8 overall record but an 8-5 mark in SEC play. Kentucky was killed on a last-second dagger by the LSU Tigers in its last game and has won just five of its last nine games.

The Tide has been a little bit better, bringing an 19-7 overall mark with a robust 10-2 record in conference play, earning them the No. 13 spot in both major polls. Alabama has won its last three but barely escaped a hot Florida Gators team on Wednesday, which required overtime to prevail at home.

The Kentucky Wildcats will host the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday, Feb. 24 at 4 p.m. ET / 3 p.m. CT.

Kentucky has been slipping of late and really needs a quality Quadrant 1 win to right the ship — and what better place to pull that off than Rupp Arena? Alabama, on the other hand, has a potent offense that will challenge the Wildcats’ strangling defense.

At the time of publication, the cheapest available tickets for the Kentucky Wildcats vs the Alabama Crimson Tide are $158.

If you’re looking for a more luxurious experience, the most expensive ticket would only cost you $3,287.
