Photo by Aaron Perkins | Kentucky Sports RadioKentucky 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. He broke John Wall’s previous record of 16.
