Number one rated Kentucky against the NCAA competition hopefuls Georgia? Seems like a recipe for a blowout, especially as Kentucky barely regained that coveted No. 1 berth on the rankings for the first time in the previous two months. Whilst the Kentucky Wildcats are at the top of the rankings and savoring an eleven game win streak, the Bulldogs can best be described as sporadic to date in the season.

The Wildcats are 19-1 and 5-0 in the SEC. They are coming off of a especially unsightly game at home against Alabama, where they earned their previous 15 points at the foul line. Fortunately, the squad is fairly great from the free-throw line, where they landed 23-of-29 to retain the win, 77-71. That victory, along with Syracuse dropping their first game of the season, put Kentucky back at the top. Their present eleven game win streak is additionally their best since going 19-0 in the course of the 2009-2010 season.

Georgia will have its hands full struggling with the Kentucky Wildcats on Tuesday, January 24. The Bulldogs earned an invite to the NCAA competition for the first time in the last three years in 2011, but two of their principal players graduated to the NBA. Since losing them, Georgia has lost much of their offensive touch, scoring merely 61.9 ppg with a pathetic 39.9 percent field-goal ratio. The Bulldogs are presently 10-9 total and 1-4 in the SEC.
With the Kentucky Wildcats averaging 79.5 ppg, and the Bulldogs at 61.9, it is no wonder the sports book is favoring the Wildcats by 12 points. It might be a bargain taking the Wildcats, as the game could wind up quite easily 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 plays even a little bit bit of defense, the Dogs’ offense may very well be effectively shut down all night.
