Right when you think you’ve figured this team out, Kentucky finds new ways to surprise you. Worried about a slow start, considering the lesser competition and sleepy 9 PM tip?

Considering Georgia’s slip to bubble status after losing five of six with four of those losses by 15-plus, Mark Pope’s group was in a position to go for the early kill, had it kept the foot on the gas.
