The Kentucky Wildcats take their perfect record on the road on Tuesday as the visit the Georgia Bulldogs in Athens.
Kentucky is 29-0 this season and will be playing its final road game of the year at Stegeman Coliseum. The Wildcats have a home game on Saturday, followed by only neutral site games in postseason play.
The Wildcats were very impressive on Saturday, dismantling the then-18th-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks 84-67 in Lexington. Kentucky got 18 points apiece from Andrew Harrison and Trey Lyles in the win.
Kentucky is led in scoring by sophomore Aaron Harrison and freshman Devin Booker, who each average 11.1 points per game. Karl-Anthony Towns averages 9.3 points and 6.5 rebounds, while Willie Cauley-Stein averages 9.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.6 blocks and 1.4 steals per game.
Georgia heads into Tuesday’s contest at 19-9 overall and 10-6 in SEC play. The Bulldogs are projected to be in the NCAA Tournament at this point, but could lock down a bid with an upset over Kentucky.
Five Bulldogs average in double figures, led by Marcus Thornton, who scores 12.3 points per game. Kenny Gaines averages 11.7 points, Charles Mann 11.3, Nemanja Djurisic 11.1 and J.J. Frazier 10.0.
When these teams met in early February, the game was tight into the second half. Kentucky never trailed, but did allow Georgia to get within five points with less than two minutes remaining before winning 69-58.
Some experts think that Georgia could beat Kentucky, especially in Athens. The Bulldogs have good balance and size, and they will have Thornton for the rematch after he missed the first meeting. Still, it probably won’t be enough to beat Kentucky.
Final score prediction: Kentucky 69, Georgia 64
