The Kentucky Wildcats take their unbeaten record into an SEC match-up against the Georgia Bulldogs on Tuesday night at Rupp Arena (7:00 ET, ESPNU).
Kentucky moved to 21-0 and 8-0 in the SEC on Saturday night with a 70-55 win over the Alabama Crimson Tide at home. Willie Cauley-Stein and Karl-Anthony Towns led the Wildcats with 12 points each. Devin Booker had 11 and Aaron Harrison added 10 in the victory.
Aaron Harrison is the leading scorer for head coach John Calipari and the Wildcats, averaging 11.5 points per game. Booker is the only other Wildcat averaging in double figures, scoring 10.7 per contest.
Georgia had a five-game winning streak snapped on Saturday as the Bulldogs lost on the road against the South Carolina Gamecocks, 67-50. J.J. Frazier led Georgia with 16 points, while Charles Mann had 14 points and seven rebounds.
Head coach Mark Fox and his team are now 14-6 overall and 5-3 in the conference. The Bulldogs find themselves squarely on the NCAA Tournament bubble at this point, and a win over Kentucky could boost their tournament resume.
Senior forward Marcus Thornton leads the Bulldogs in scoring at 13.5 points per game, and in rebounding at 7.3 per contest. Junior guard Kenny Gaines averages 11.7 per game, while Mann (11.3 ppg), Frazier (11.0 ppg) and Nemanja Djurisic (10.8 ppg) are also double figure scorers.
Despite not having great size, Georgia rebounds the ball well, and that could be key in this game. If the Bulldogs can keep the bigger Wildcats from getting offensive rebounds, it would certainly help their cause. However, Kentucky’s size will make that task very difficult. Look for the Wildcats to stay unbeaten in this game.
Final score prediction: Kentucky 68, Georgia 56
