(Updated after their 2017 SEC tournament meeting)
Kentucky and Alabama have a long history in basketball. 147 total games (fewer than only three UK series - Tennessee, Vandy and Georgia).
Alabama has managed a (relatively) decent home mark against the Cats, with 23 wins and 31 losses. The Crimson Tide's home winning percentage against UK is third in SEC history behind Arkansas and Tennessee.
And while their 5-23 mark at Rupp doesn't scream "success," those 5 wins are actually tied for second-most by any opponent in that arena (Florida has 7, LSU also has 5).
Many of the games have had high stakes, as the two teams have met 17 times in the SEC Tournament (fewer than only the 18 against LSU) and once in the NCAA Tournament. UK holds a significant edge in those postseason matchups, at 16-2 overall (15-2 in the SEC Tournament, 1-0 NCAA).
Alabama has an excellent history in SEC basketball as a whole, with 14 combined titles:
- 8 regular season crowns (tied for third with Tennessee, behind UK's 47 and LSU's 11)
- 6 tournament titles (second behind UK's 28)
Only Tennessee (12 combined titles), LSU (12 combined titles), and Florida (11 combined titles) have come close to matching them in the fight against UK's dominance.
Alabama's most famous past coach is Wimp Sanderson. He certainly had some success, especially against Hall, but the best winning percentage by any 'Bama coach against UK (minimum of 10 games)? Believe it or not, that belongs to Mark Gottfried. He was 5-8 against UK, including 5-6 against Tubby, with 2 wins in Rupp.

Kentucky basketball vs. Florida all-time (21 different coaches, 12 different arenas)
(updated through 2017 regular season matchups)
Florida has been quite a pest for the Kentucky Wildcats, especially within the confines of the Stephen C. O'Connell Center, also known as the O-Dome.
UK is only 20-17 at Florida's current venue, which has proved to be one of their most challenging environments. Five of those losses were consecutive, from 2005 through 2009 (Tubby's last three, and both of Billy G's). Calipari is 13-6 against Florida but only 4-5 in Gainesville.
Since Pitino left, it's been a relatively close battle. Florida had some very strong teams under Billy Donovan (2006, 2007 and 2014 in particular). UK is only 28-18 against UF since the Pitino days.
Overall, though? UK has dominated Florida. Just like any other SEC team.

Kentucky basketball vs. Tennessee all-time (15 different arenas)
(updated through regular season matchups in 2017)
Big Orange has been Kentucky's biggest problem in the SEC. Sure, Florida has been a pain during the last two decades. But no league opponent has a winning percentage over 30 against the Cats, other than the Vols. They've been especially dangerous in Knoxville, of course, where UK has barely managed a winning record (see below).
UK's overall record is currently 153-69 against UT (68.9%). 69 wins is the most any team has against UK (followed by 47 for Vandy, 38 for Florida and 37 for Alabama). The 222 meetings are easily the most in any series UK has played (followed by 189 meetings with Vandy and 149 with Georgia).
Let's check out the breakdown.
Home games: 90-16 (84.9%)
Rupp Arena: 36-4 (90%) - only losses were in 1977, 1979, 1999 and 2006

Woodland Auditorium: 4-1 (80%) - loss was in 1916
Road games: 52-49 (51.5%)
Thompson-Boling Arena: 16-13 (55.2%) - Games since 1988
Stokely Center: 5-16 (23.8%) - This was the ultimate house of horrors for UK basketball. From 1967 through 1987 (late Rupp years, Hall and then Sutton), the Cats just couldn't do anything in Knoxville. There were even two separate five-game road losing streaks in the series (1973-77 and 1979-83).
UT Armory Fieldhouse: 5-3 (62.5%) - Games between 1959 and 1966

South Carolina. They have some memorably frustrating wins against UK (including two in the conference tournament against Tubby, Pitino's last game in blue at Rupp Arena, and the "Obama Curse" game in 2010). But like any other SEC team, their overall results against the Cats are less than inspiring.

Kentucky basketball vs. Mississippi State all-time (13 different arenas)
Bulldog basketball fans don't bring as many cowbells as the football fans do, but they certainly bring the hatred. Even so, they haven't been as successful as some other conference foes against Kentucky. Maybe that's why they hate us so much? Sorry!

"Old" Indiana Fieldhouse: 0-2 (1920s)
Among other websites consulted, one of my main sources for this and many other posts is the peerless UK resource (and probably the best site of its kind for any sports team) known as "The Kentucky Basketball Statistics Project" operated by Jon Scott.

Kentucky basketball vs. Louisville all-time (14 different arenas)
UK is 34-16 all-time against the Cardinals.

Woodland Auditorium: 1-1
Did you know? UK never played UofL in Alumni Gym or in Memorial Coliseum. Crazy, right?

Yum! Center: 2-2 (2010 through 2016) - 50.0%
