John Clay: Roller-coaster Cats fight youth, the road

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — There was the first half, when Alabama was playing out of its mind and John Calipari was about to lose his.

Then there was the second half, in which Kentucky came alive and kept closing, closing and closing as if it was ready to pass the host Crimson Tide at the finish line.

But the Cats couldn’t quite get there.

Alabama 68, Kentucky 66.

So which are the real Cats?
