At this point in the year, it’s all about stacking wins and building momentum for postseason play. That’s been a struggle to open conference play, with Kentucky losing three of the team’s first four SEC games and falling out of the rankings completely. The Wildcats took a necessary step forward with a road win over No. 5 Tennessee, and then tonight, took another with a home victory over Georgia.
It wasn’t easy — it never is at this point — with Kentucky falling by as many as 11 in the first half thanks to yet another slow offensive start with a long list of defensive miscues.
