Nate Oats reacts to seeing Nick Saban in crowd during Alabama's blowout win over Kentucky
No. 7-ranked Alabama basketball could hardly have had a better outing as it continued it successful ways of the 2022-23 season with a 78-52 win over the Kentucky Wildcats — a team that was expected to be among the best in the nation preseason — on Saturday.
And Alabama head football coach Nick Saban was there to witness it all.
Head basketball head coach noted after the game what he thought Saban could have been saying in the crowd, and it’s certainly a motto that the team brought to the court with it.
“‘Make their butts quit,’ I think that’s his saying. We were trying to make them quit tonight.”
The Crimson Tide currently hold a 13-2 overall record on the season and remain undefeated in SEC play at 3-0.
Nate Oats said it was great to see Nick Saban in the front row tonight.

BIG win for Alabama.
Wow. I’m not surprised that Bama won, but that margin is certainly impressive.
I’m confused. Are we a basketball or women’s soccer school now?
Alabama fields superior teams in a vast array of sports. Glad to clear the fog for you heel.
That was a butt whoopin. I loved every minute of it. Anytime we can beat Kentucky is hoops it’s a good day but we destroyed them. RTR!!!
Well, at least Kentucky still has horse racing. They don’t seem to be very good at football or basketball.
Strong showing by the Tide. Nice work.
Shouldn’t you be underpinning your trailer before the next cold front?
Shouldn’t you be checking on the still right now? The mash might be ruined.
You’re right! Thanks for the reminder!!
Shouldn’t you be taking your sister wife to the klan meeting?
The sports news showed a shot of Saban at the basketball game…he had an expression on his face that made it look like he would rather be having a root canal.
SABAN AINT GOT NOTHING ELSE TO DO !!!! HOWS THAT FEEL BOYS?????
Ha, that was my first thought too. Glad to see he’s enjoying himself though.
Really? Is that it, is that your best shot?
ouch.
I know exactly what Saban was saying: “I should send Cal Jimbo’s contact info so they can collaborate on a book on under performing”
Yeah ha Cats Wish Cal was sitting next to Saban…haha. Coach Vol: Nobody cares! Bama is still your daddy even after 150 penalties and 53 turnovers this year
Alabama played a very solid game but I also think Kentucky couldn’t have played worse. Wednesday will be a tough game for the tide… always tough to win on the road in the SEC.
