Five takeaways from Alabama’s blowout loss to No. 17 Kentucky

There was a lot to take away from Alabama’s blowout loss to No. 17 Kentucky. Roll Tide Wire provides five takeaways from the loss.

The Alabama men’s basketball team suffered a lopsided loss on Saturday evening to No. 17 Kentucky. The Crimson Tide fell 117-95 to the Wildcats.

Everyone knew that Alabama had issues on the defensive end, but no one could have anticipated a 117-point performance coming from John Calipari’s squad.

It was the first time that Alabama allowed over 100 points all season long. Nate Oats’ squad struggled to eliminate the three-point shot and paid as a result. Overall, it was a sloppy performance from the Crimson Tide. There is no other way to put it.

Willy Z’s charge up the board, Rickie Fowler’s quintuple among 5 takeaways from Saturday at the FedEx St. Jude

Plenty of big names are in the hunt with 18 holes left.

We’re 18 holes away from crowning the champion of the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the first of three events of the 2021-22 FedEx Cup Playoffs, and it’s anyone’s to win.

After opening the tournament with a 1-over 71, Will Zalatoris has charged over the last two days to get near the top of the board. He’s made just one bogey in his last 36 holes and will tee off Sunday two back.

Cameron Smith continues to play well, firing a third-round 3-under 67 and is once again in position to win. If he does, it’ll be another high-level victory for the Australian.

If you missed Saturday’s action, here are five takeaways from the third round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship.

Weather delays, Joseph Bramlett’s ace among five takeaways from suspended third round of Wyndham Championship

Weather wreaked havoc on the third round of the Wyndham Championship.

Weather is wreaking havoc on the final regular season event of the PGA Tour schedule.

Two separate rain delays halted play, caused myriad disruptions during the third round of the Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina. The first rain delay lasted an hour and five minutes, the second starting at 4:15 p.m. ET and ending play for the day. The second delay nearly ended at 6:40 p.m. ET, as players were in position to begin play, but a lightning strike extended the delay and ultimately ended the day. Only 12 players finished.

The third round will resume at 7:30 a.m. ET Sunday.

With a record 87 players making the cut, if play is not able to conclude Sunday, the Wyndham Championship could be headed for a Monday finish. It would be the first PGA Tour event with a Monday finish since the 2022 Players Championship in March.

Shane Lowry, who went home Friday after thinking he would miss the cut, dialed up the private jet Saturday morning and arrived with time to spare before his third-round tee time.

Meanwhile, Will Zalatoris and his caddie went their separate ways between rounds, and Zalatoris fired his second-straight round of 66 to move up the leaderboard.

There are 10 players within two shots of the lead heading to Sunday.

Here are five takeaways from the suspended third round of the Wyndham Championship:

Tom Kim rebounds from a snowman, Ryan Moore’s achy back and Brian Stuard ends a bad streak among five takeaways from second round of Wyndham Championship

If you couldn’t catch Friday’s action, no worries. Here’s what you missed.

Ryan Moore has suffered through a dismal season. He entered the week ranked 196^th in FedEx Cup point standings, had missed three cuts in a row and isn’t even thinking about his long-shot chances of qualifying for the FedEx Cup playoffs, which start next week.

“I am just not even in the frame of,” he said. “I’m so far out of it, it doesn’t even matter at this point. I’m trying to do whatever I can this week. I’m just trying to gain some confidence going into next season.”

But Sedgefield Country Club, where he won the Wyndham Championship in 2009, is a happy hunting ground and he’s found some of that old magic in shooting rounds of 67-68 to share the 36-hole lead at 9-under 135 with Brandon Wu and Joohyung Kim.

“A day like today easily could have been even or so,” Moore said. “Instead, kept my momentum and ended up at 4 under.”

Moore attributes his struggles to an injury to the costovertebral joints, which connect the ribs to the vertebral column.

“It’s nothing I need surgery for, but it’s just a very tricky spot,” Moore said. “It’s where your rib joint like meets your spine. I kind of have some chronic deterioration in there and I basically just keep spraining it over and over and over again, which you can imagine doesn’t feel great twisting and swinging a golf club as hard as I can.”

“There is a course of action, there’s things I can do to kind of help it, I just haven’t,” he continued. “I need a good six, eight weeks off to kind of deal with it and I’ll just try to finish out the year and deal with it and then hopefully have some time coming up here to do it.”

Moore has a friend filling in as a caddie this week, the same pal who was on the bag when he finished T-2 at the 2021 John Deere Classic, his last top-10 finish.

“I’m about to make him start caddying for me permanently apparently,” Moore said. “We keep doing well together for whatever reason, at least on his random fill-in weeks, so it’s good.”

5 takeaways from Alabama’s heartbreaking championship loss to Georgia

You win some and you lose some. Unfortunately, for Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide, the loss came in the College Football Playoff national championship game at the hands of the Georgia Bulldogs 33-18.

The score isn’t a true indicator of how close the game truly was from start to finish. Both teams traded blows for the majority of the contest, but the Bulldogs took over late in the fourth quarter and iced the game with a pick-six off of Bryce Young.

As we drown in our sorrows, let’s take a look at five of the takeaways from Alabama’s heartbreaking loss.
