No. 8 Kentucky avoided its third loss in a row with a 90-81 overtime victory over Georgia Tuesday night.
The Wildcats had to survive without freshman guard De'Aaron Fox, who was out due to an illness. Still, the rest of the team stepped up to survive a tough battle at Rupp Arena.
Malik Monk was as good as ever with 37 points to go with three rebounds, three steals and three blocks. Perhaps most impressive, he was 7-of-11 from three-point range.
Sam Vecenie of Sporting News described the player's ability:
Sam Vecenie I will say this for Monk: not sure I can remember a dude this athletic who would so regularly go supernova and not miss for halves at a time
