Number one ranked Kentucky against the NCAA tournament hopefuls Georgia? Sounds like a recipe for a crushing defeat, especially as Kentucky just barely regained that desired No. 1 berth on the rankings for the 1st time in the earlier 2 months. Whereas the Kentucky Wildcats are ahead of the rankings and enjoying an eleven game win streak, the Bulldogs can best be termed sporadic to date in the season.

Kentucky is 19-1 and 5-0 in the SEC. They’re coming off of a particularly unsightly game at home against Alabama, where they garnered their prior 15 points at the foul line. Fortunately, the team is fairly great from the free-throw line, where they landed 23-of-29 to keep hold of the win, 77-71. That win, joined with Syracuse dropping their 1st game of the season, put Kentucky back ahead. Their recent eleven game win streak is furthermore their greatest since going 19-0 during the 2009-2010 season.

Georgia is going to have its hands full struggling with the Kentucky Wildcats on Tuesday, January 24. The Bulldogs garnered an invite to the NCAA tournament for the 1st time in the last three years in 2011, but 2 of their main competitors graduated to the NBA. Since losing them, Georgia has lost much of their offensive touch, scoring simply 61.9 points per game with a terrible 39.9 percent field-goal percentage. The Bulldogs are presently 10-9 total and 1-4 in the SEC.
With the Kentucky Wildcats averaging 79.5 points per game, and the Bulldogs at 61.9, it’s not surprising the sports book is favoring the Wildcats by 12 points. It could be a bargain taking the Wildcats, as the game might end up very effortlessly as a 15- or 20-point blowout. The total is set at 129, but and I would expect this game to go under the total. If Kentucky performs even somewhat bit of defense, the Dogs’ offense could be properly shut down all evening.
