Kentucky men’s basketball vs. Georgia: Get live updates, stats from Rupp Arena

The comeback Cats are looking for a bounce-back win.

The Kentucky men’s basketball team, coming off a loss at Florida that dropped it out of The Associated Press Top 25 college basketball poll, is back on the court Tuesday, hosting Georgia at Rupp Arena.

The Wildcats and Bulldogs sport identical 17-8 records but vastly different path there.

Kentucky is 8-4 in the SEC and has won eight of its past 10 games. Georgia is 5-7 in the league and has lost four of its past six.

College basketball analytics site KenPom.com gives the Wildcats a 72% chance of beating the Bulldogs. It’s one of two of UK’s six remaining regular season games in which KenPom favors the Cats, along with next week’s trip to South Carolina.
