Kentucky Upstages Anthony Edwards in 78-69 Victory at Georgia

The stage was set at Stegemen Coliseum for Anthony Edwards to showcase his skills to the nation in primetime on ESPN. John Calipari’s Kentucky Wildcats had different plans.

A sensational second half paved the way for a Kentucky victory in their first road game of the season. The Cats defeated the Dogs 78-69, limiting Edwards to 23 points on 17 field goal attempts.

Kentucky got into an early hole when Nick Richards was forced to the bench with two fouls eight minutes into the game. Combine that with some road jitters and a few forced early shots from Hagans and UK was against the ropes, trailing by six at halftime.
