Kristy Curry and the Alabama women’s basketball team will compete in the second round of the 2023 SEC women’s tournament on Thursday night against the Kentucky Wildcats.

As the sixth seed, Alabama received a first-round bye while Kentucky defeated the Florida Gators on Wednesday in the 11 vs. 14 matchup, 72-57.

Alabama defeated Kentucky in the lone regular season matchup with the Wildcats in Lexington back in early February, 72-65.

The winner will move on to face the No. 3 seed in the Tennessee Lady Vols on Friday night in the quarterfinals.
