Hagans hustles Kentucky past Georgia: 5 things to know & postgame talk

Tuesday night's matchup with the Georgia Bulldogs was more than just a SEC game for the Kentucky Wildcats. Head coach John Calipari and his ball club needed a momentum boost before they play arguably the toughest stretch of their season. Kentucky is on the brink of a road game to Auburn, hosting Mississippi State and then a home matchup with Kansas.

Needless to say, the Wildcats weathered an early storm before it got out of hand for the third consecutive game. After taking a narrow 35-31 halftime lead, the Wildcats held true to form by closing the deal, 69-49.
