Nate Oats reacts to setting Alabama's Top 25 win record

Alabama’s victory against Kentucky on Sunday saw Nate Oats break some important records. The win marked the Crimson Tide’s eighth victory over an AP Top 25 opponent this season, setting a new program record for most ranked wins in a single campaign.

It also marked Nate Oats’ 26th career victory over a ranked team since arriving in Tuscaloosa, surpassing legendary coach Wimp Sanderson for the most in program history.

“Honestly, Wimp did a really good job here, but I’m guessing the SEC is a lot better now, so there’s a lot more opportunities to get Top 25 wins than he probably had,” Oats said postgame on Saturday via On3.com.

“But when they give you the opportunity and you take advantage of them and try to get it done. We don’t have enough because we had a chance to get two more in the last two games before this and we didn’t come up with them," he added.

The win showcases the good job Nate Oats has done since moving to Tuscaloosa. The coach led the program to the Final Four for the first time in history last season, and he will hope to challenge for the national title this year.
