FINAL: Kentucky's second-half run powers 'Cats past Georgia 92-77

Kentucky needed an easy win to get back on track after injuries plagued the ‘Cats against LSU earlier this week. And who better to face when in need of a feel-good victory than the Georgia Bulldogs?

Despite a close contest at the intermission, No. 16 Kentucky (12-3) blew the doors open in the second half, outscoring Georgia (5-10) by 12 points en route to a 92-77 win inside of Rupp Arena on Saturday night. It was an especially magical night for freshman guard TyTy Washington, who set a new program record in assists with 17 to go along with his 17 points, five rebounds, and just two turnovers.
