Well that felt good, huh? For the first time since conference play began back on January 5, the Kentucky Wildcats knocked off the rust early and cruised the rest of the way to take home a 69-49 victory over Georgia on the road.
It wasn’t pretty to start with, but a burst of energy to start the second half helped lead the Wildcats to their third consecutive victory in the SEC and an overall record of 13-3.
Here are my top ten takeaways from Kentucky’s big victory:
Another slow start…
Following a disappointing 77-75 loss on the road at Alabama, Kentucky managed back-to-back victories against Texas A&M and Vanderbilt, but the focus following each matchup had more to do with the head-scratching slow starts against lesser competition than the victories themselves.
