College basketball fans hoping to see the Kevin Knox vs Michael Porter Jr. match up have had their hopes spoiled three separate times this season. The first time Kentucky played Missouri, Porter was hurt. The second, he warmed up, but he never checked in. The potential third was thwarted by the Georgia Bulldogs who pulled off the big upset yesterday over the Tigers. Instead, fans are treated to at least one more game for Georgia’s Yante Maten, who has been an absolute force for nearly his entire career in Athens.
For Kentucky, the loss of Jarred Vanderbilt due to an ankle injury makes today’s game a tad more difficult.
