Georgetown just has Kentucky‘s number. Though this one didn’t really count, it was the Hoyas’ third win over the Wildcats in their three all-time meetings. The 84-70 preseason exhibition loss is nowhere near the loss in the 1984 Final Four, but it still put a damper on Big Blue Nation’s excitement before the 2025-26 season opener next week.
Simply put, Kentucky couldn’t guard and Kentucky couldn’t shoot. Playing short-handed in the backcourt, UK allowed easy baskets to Georgetown’s guards, while laying bricks from the perimeter on the other end. An ugly night all the way around.
