"We're getting closer to being full strength and being healthy, getting Bruner back helps, you know, everyday in practice, every game he's going to get a little bit better," said Oats.
Alabama has kept its hot start going despite losing graduate transfer, forward Jordan Bruner to a right meniscus injury in the first Kentucky game of the year on Jan. 12. Bruner was averaging 9.4 points and 5.4 rebounds while shooting 35.3 % from the 3-point line in SEC play prior to going down with an injury.
The Alabama men's basketball team (10-3, 5-0) went into Rupp Arena tonight and defeated the Kentucky Wildcats (4-7, 3-1) on the road for the first time since 2006. The win extends the Crimson Tide winning streak to six games in a row and keeps the Crimson Tide in sole possession of first place in the SEC.
The Alabama Crimson Tide (9-4, 4-0) went on the road and defeated the Auburn Tigers (6-6, 0-4) 94-90 to remain undefeated in conference play and is still in first place in the SEC. The victory was the first win in Auburn for the Crimson Tide since 2015.
