The Wildcats enter the game as a favorite and have gained a lot of public recognition for the defeating of the Tennessee Volunteers in Knoxville on Tuesday. For the Cats to stay on the winning track, this is what Kentucky must do…
KEYS TO VICTORY-
1) SCORE- Kentucky is second in the SEC in scoring and 12th in the nation in points per game. Kentucky needs to keep their scoring high. The Georgia Bulldogs have struggled in making baskets as they rank dead last in the SEC and near the bottom of the country in points per game averaging only 67 points a game.
2) Don’t Get Over Confident- It has been a while since the Wildcats have gotten such recognition in the national media. With the win Tuesday, Kentucky has emerged as an SEC favorite and can possibly reach the top-25 for the first time in over two years with another victory. With a team that has yet to experience EXPECTATIONS, it will be a necessity for the Wildcats to stay the course, play hard, and play one game at a time.
3) Continue to improve with the ball- Kentucky has struggled all season with turnovers and at this point in the season, you are what you are. However, Tuesday the Wildcats were again careless with the ball turning the ball over 15 times, yet won. The turnover problem will be more detrimental as the season progresses. Mid-season should be the time where the freshmen learn to be more careful with the ball and should be more adjusted to the college game. Turnovers must be CUTDOWN.
The Wildcats have not started an SEC sleight 3-0 since 2004-2005 season. That 2004-2005 season, the Wildcats went onto win the SEC, got ranked as high as 7th in the country, and made a deep run into the NCAA tournament.
A 3-0 start is beneficial to the Wildcats and might get them into the national rankings. If the Cats can score (like they have all season), stay level headed, and limit turnovers, Kentucky should be on their way to a 3-0 marking heading back to Rupp Arena.
PREDICTION—
**Kentucky has beaten opponents by 15.2 points a game and look for nothing different today. Kentucky should be able to handle the Dogs soundly and win by double digits.**
Kentucky- 82
Georgia- 60
