Georgia prevails at Kentucky for first time in 13 tries

  • On Tuesday, Georgia beat Kentucky 86-78 at Rupp Arena, ending a 12-game losing streak and their first win there since 2009.
  • Fueled by pressure defense, Georgia forced 13 Kentucky turnovers converted into 22 points and hit 14 of 31 three-pointers , while reserves scored 29 points including Jeremiah Wilkinson's 19 off the bench.
  • Despite efficient shooting from the Wildcats, late misses and a scoring drought sealed their fate as Otega Oweh led Kentucky with 28 points while Collin Chandler added 18 and hit six 3-pointers, and the team shot 46% FG and 40% 3PT.
  • The loss leaves Kentucky 17-9 overall and 8-5 in the SEC, with a trip to Auburn on Saturday tip-off at 8:30 p.m., impacting conference standings.
  • Facing Selection Sunday pressure, Georgia played with desperation, with Cyril's 14 points, his late offensive rebound, and a banked shot sealing the win, as Pope warned about fatigue.
