Kentucky falls to Georgia 75-68 in must-win game; NCAA Tournament chances slipping

Kentucky’s hopes of making the NCAA Tournament just took a significant hit.

On Saturday afternoon at Stegeman Coliseum, the Wildcats (16-9; 7-5 SEC) were flat-out embarrassed on the road by the Georgia Bulldogs (15-10; 5-7 SEC), falling by a final score of 75-68. Coming into the contest, Kentucky was considered to be just inside the projected field of 68, but losing to Georgia, which had lost six of its previous seven games, is a massive blow to the Wildcats’ resume and will likely put them on the outside looking in of the 2023 NCAA Tournament the rest of the season.
