Kentucky had won eight of its last ten games. Georgia had lost five of its last six. The Dawgs escaped Rupp Arena with the program’s fifth win in Lexington.
It didn’t look like many of the disappointing Kentucky losses we’ve seen this season. The Wildcats actually got off to a good start. Otega Oweh had a season-high 28 points. Collin Chandler made a career-high six three-pointers. Kentucky still lost 86-78.
The Cats were in control for most of the first half. It looked like they were ready to put it in cruise control.
