Earlier in the week, Joe Lunardi said a loss to Georgia will torpedo Kentucky Basketball’s season and knock the Wildcats out of the tournament conversation. Well, through one half in Athens, the radar shows torpedoes headed toward Lexington as the Wildcats trail the Bulldogs, 42-32, in a must-win scenario.
Part of the problem for Kentucky is the team is without two of its guards, CJ Fredrick and Sahvir Wheeler, who are each out with injuries. John Calipari started Cason Wallace, Antonio Reeves, Chris Livingston, Jacob Toppin, and Oscar Tshiebwe without them, and already went to Adou Thiero for some help off the bench.
