The Rupp Arena crowd created a picture-perfect basketball environment this past weekend, even if the home fans couldn’t will Kentucky to victory over Alabama. Saturday’s 102-97 loss to the Crimson Tide in a Top 10 matchup wasn’t what Mark Pope and his Wildcats were hoping for.

In one of the most-anticipated battles of the SEC basketball season, No. 4 Alabama handed No. 8 Kentucky its first loss in Rupp Arena this season.

With a nod to Chris Stewart, ‘Let’s get out of here!’ Here’s 20 of the best photos of Alabama’s win over Kentucky at Rupp Arena Saturday.

No. 6 Kentucky won at No. 14 Mississippi State (95-90). Dropped to No. 8 due to a loss at Georgia the prior week, UK then came home to beat No. 11 Texas A&M (81-69) but lost 102-97 to No. 4 Alabama.

The Crimson Tide bounced back from a midweek loss with a massive win at Rupp Arena behind a career day from Grant Nelson.

Alabama (15-3, 4-1 SEC) won on the stomping grounds of the eight-time national champions in Rupp Arena, though. RECRUITING TRAIL:Alabama basketball still has shot at 5-star prospect TIME TO PANIC?

Alabama, which is 6-1 in the SEC and only a half-game behind league-leading Auburn (6-0), leads the country in scoring. It leads the conference in rebounds, shot attempts, made 2-pointers and made free throws per game.

Last season, Zvonimir Ivisic was a constant storyline for UK basketball. How has Ivisic fared this season at Arkansas?

Led by Chris Youngblood, the Alabama Crimson Tide might have earned their most impressive win to date this season Wednesday night in Starkville.

Kentucky's Mark Pope started his coaching career at Rupp Arena with 11 straight wins. How does that start compare to other first-year UK coaches?

If Arkansas beats Kentucky on Saturday, I can see a movie in the works: Call it "The Calipari Redemption," with speaking roles for Morgan Freeman as trail-blazing basketball coaches Nolan Richardson and Orlando "Tubby" Smith.
