At the buzzer: Kentucky defeats Georgia 85-71 inside Rupp Arena

Kentucky mens basketball defeated Georgia 85-71 inside Rupp Arena on Tuesday, earning a victory inside Rupp Arena for the first time since Jan. 3.

Standing at 2-3 in the SEC heading in, the game was an opportunity for the Cats to dig themselves out of the losing conference-record hole they had found themselves in.
