Which statistic are we looking at ahead of tomorrow night’s game?
Kentucky’s field goal percentage.
Georgia is one of the best teams in college basketball at making its opponent miss shots. Mark Fox’s squad leads the SEC and ranks sixth nationally in field goal percentage defense. All but two of its 21 opponents shot beneath their season field goal percentage while facing the Bulldogs.
Kentucky, on the other hand, has been been on fire from the field lately. UK shot 53 percent in four of the last five games, well above its average of 46 percent entering that stretch.
