Kentucky-Georgia Prediction
This is nothing particularly new – not in light of the past three seasons of Kentucky basketball. The 2015 team went 38-1 and destroyed the competition, but in 2016, 2017 and 2018 have all been roller-coaster rides to varying degrees for John Calipari. His teams could look great in one moment and horrible the next, sometimes within the same game. That general reality has once again emerged in 2019, with Kentucky being excellent against North Carolina and solid against Louisville, only to then wobble against Alabama, fail to put away Texas A&M until late in the second half, and then slog past Vanderbilt in a rockfight inside Rupp Arena. There will be more bumps in the road for UK, but Georgia is one of the weaker teams in the SEC this season. A close game is to be expected? A Georgia win? That’s asking too much. Kentucky 71, Georgia 66. (Matt Zemek)
This game tips off at 7 Eastern, 6 Central, on ESPN.
