Number 1 ranked Kentucky vs the NCAA championship hopefuls Georgia? Sounds like a recipe for a crushing defeat, specifically as Kentucky just barely regained that coveted No. 1 spot on the standings for the first time in the prior 2 months. Whereas the Kentucky Wildcats are at the top of the standings and experiencing an 11 game win streak, the Bulldogs can best be called sporadic to date in the year.

The Wildcats are 19-1 and 5-0 in the SEC. They’re coming off of a especially unpleasant game at home vs Alabama, where they garnered their prior 15 points at the foul line. Luckily, the team is pretty good from the free-throw line, where they made 23-of-29 to retain the win, 77-71. That victory, joined with Syracuse dropping their first game of the year, put Kentucky back at the top. Their present 11 game win streak is also their greatest since going 19-0 during the 2009-2010 year.

Georgia is going to have its hands full facing the Kentucky Wildcats on Tuesday, January 24. The Bulldogs garnered an invite to the NCAA championship for the first time in the last three years in 2011, but 2 of their principal competitors moved on to the NBA. Since losing them, Georgia has lost most of their offensive touch, scoring simply 61.9 ppg with a terrible 39.9 percent field-goal ratio. The Bulldogs are now 10-9 overall and 1-4 in the SEC.

With the Kentucky Wildcats averaging 79.5 ppg, and the Bulldogs at 61.9, it is not surprising the sports book is favoring Kentucky by 12 points. It could be a bargain taking the Wildcats, as the game might end up pretty effortlessly as a 15- or 20-point blowout. The total is set at 129, but and I would anticipate this match to go under the total. If Kentucky plays even a little bit bit of defense, the Bulldogs’ offense may very well be efficiently shut down all night.
