For the second time this year, John Calipari’s Kentucky Wildcats will take on Mike White’s Georgia Bulldogs. It still feels weird to say “Mike White’s Georgia Bulldogs.” White is 4-12 vs. the Wildcats in his career, dating back to his days at Florida. Kentucky won the previous matchup this year at Rupp Arena thanks to Oscar Tshiebwe‘s historic 37-point, 24-rebound performance. Kentucky covered an 11.5-point spread in the 85-71 victory.
Entering Saturday afternoon’s game Kentucky is an 8-point favorite over Georgia with a total of 140.5. KenPom is calling for a 74-69 Kentucky victory, with a 65% chance to win outright.
