John Wall arrived in Nashville with plenty of hype after being named the Southeastern Conference Player of the Year earlier this week. Wall didn’t necessarily bring down the house at Bridgestone Arena in the first half of Kentucky’s 73-67 triumph over Alabama in the quarterfinals of the Southeastern Conference Tournament. Wall scored just seven points in the Wildcats’ dreadful showing in the opening half that featured an 11-point deficit and provided more worries than expected for most of the Kentucky contingent that followed the team to Music City.
