Those workouts prepared him for clutch moments that got No. 14/13 Kentucky past Alabama. Quickley scored the game's final five points and finished with 19, Ashton Hagans had 15 with a big 3 late and the Wildcats topped Alabama 76-67 on Saturday for their 1,000th Southeastern Conference regular-sea- son victory. Kentucky (12-3, 3-0 SEC) led by 15 early in the second half before a cold stretch allowed the Crimson Tide to climb within 63-60 with just over five minutes remaining. Quickley nailed a 3 from the right corner with 4:33 left before Hagans followed from near the top of the arc at 2:20 for a 69-62 edge that helped offset John Petty Jr.'s 3 that cut the deficit to four. Quickley, who hit 5 of 6 from long range and 6 of 10 overall, came out of a timeout to make a 3 from the right corner with a min- ute left for a 74-67 lead. He added two free throws 24 seconds later as Kentucky beat the Crimson Tide for the 12th time in 13 meetings despite shooting just 32% after intermission. Wildcats head coach John Calipari sug- gested the timeout was to "ice" his sophomore reserve guard, who coolly delivered. "He saw that my man was kind of standing all the way under the basket," said Quickley, who has averaged nearly 19 points over his previous three games. "So he said, when I throw it to Nick (Richards), Nick just flipped it right back and just let me play. "The man went under, I read and took the shot and made it." Going back to the Missouri game, he's made 10 of his last 11 3-pointers. He's aver- aging 18.8 points and 4.0 rebounds with 14 3-pointers on 60.9% shooting from behind the arc over the four-game winning streak. "Steaming hot," Quickley said when asked how hot he is right now. "If you touch me, you might burn. I have a lot of confidence right now. The ones I'm missing, I'm kind of shocked. My heart drops a little. 'Dang, I didn't make it.' " The Wildcats are 1,000-281 overall in SEC regular-season play. Richards had 13 points and 11 rebounds for his seventh double-double this season. Tyrese Maxey added 13 points for the Wild- cats, who shot 44%. Hagans had nine assists. Herbert Jones had 18 points and Petty 16 for the Crimson Tide (8-7, 1-2), which sought to follow up their 21-point rout of Missis- sippi State. Alabama entered the game as the SEC's top scoring offense (84.4 points) and had scored at least 90 points in five consecutive contests. They entered the game averaging 11 made 3s per game. The Tide didn't come close to either statistic, though they made it interesting. "They are hard to score on and they did as good a job defensively on us as anyone all year," Alabama first-year coach Nate Oats said. "You tell your guys what it is going to be like trying to score at the rim on these guys, maybe take a few more 3s. But until you get into the game I don't know how you emulate it. I guess, get some broom- sticks out or something." Of note ... • Kentucky is 3-0 in league play for the fifth time in 11 seasons under Calipari • The Wildcats have won eight in a row at home vs. Alabama and 12 of their 13 overall games vs. the Crimson Tide • Richards collected his seventh dou- ble-double of the season and eighth of his career with 13 points, 11 rebounds and five blocks • Hagans flirted with a triple-double with a career-high nine rebounds and nine assists in addition to his 15 points and three steals • With 13 points, Tyrese Maxey reached double figures for the fifth time in the last six games • UK was plus-19 with EJ Montgomery (eight points, six rebounds) on the floor, a team best • UK led by as many as 15 points. The Wildcats improved to 272-6 under Calipari when leading by at least 10 points at any time in the contest • Hagans dished out at nine dimes and has 12 straight games with at least five assists. It's the best run since Tyler Ulis turned the trick in 24 straight games from Dec. 26, 2015 to March 17, 2016 Kentucky Wins 1,000th Regular- Season Game in SEC Play Kentucky owns more regular-season vic- tories than any other program in the country. Earlier this season, the Wildcats won their 600th game in Rupp Arena. UK won its 600th game in just 670 tries to become the fastest to 600 in the country. On Jan. 11 against Al- abama, Kentucky reached another milestone: win No. 1,000 in regular-season action in Southeastern Conference play. Kentucky entered the season with a 997- 281 mark all-time in league action and has won its first three of the 2019-20 slate. With no other SEC team owning more than 750 vic- tories, UK reached the mark in record fashion among other programs within the SEC. Determining whether UK is first in the country is up for interpretation. In the current structure of conferences, in which the Big 12 recognizes alignment in its current format as beginning in 1996-97, Kansas would not rec- ognize its victories until that season. However, if one combines all of Kansas' wins in Big 6, Big 7, Big 8 and Big 12 play, Kansas has al- ready topped 1,000 victories. It is also important to note that Kentucky's 1,000 wins are for SEC regular-season play only. It does not include victories as a mem- ber of the SEC, SEC playoff games, SEC Tour- nament wins or wins against SEC teams in the NCAA Tournament.
