Georgia Basketball vs Kentucky Preview

The Georgia Bulldogs are set to host the Kentucky Wildcats this Saturday in the 2nd game of their two-game regular season series. This will be the 157th meeting between these two teams in a series that Kentucky currently leads 131-25. The Bulldogs have lost 16 of the last 17 matchup's to the Wildcats.

Georgia's dismantling at the hands of Kentucky earlier this January started what has become the worst stretch of the season for Mike White and the Bulldogs. After suffering a 14 point loss to the Wildcats, the Dawgs have lost 6 out of their last 7 games. A home victory over the Kentucky this afternoon would certainly increase moral for a season that has seemingly spiraled out of control in the past month.

Kentucky heads into this game 4th in the SEC, fresh off a lost to Arkansas on its home floor. Frustrated by the loss, legendary head coach John Calipari would love to see his team get back in the win column with a win over Georgia.

Georgia leading scorer Terry Roberts' availability for Saturday's game still remains up in the air. Head coach Mike White did report that Roberts had returned to practice sometime this week, but did not state whether he would play or not. Roberts finished as the leading scorer in the Bulldog's previous matchup with the Wildcats and it will be almost imperative that he plays if the Bulldogs plan to pull off the upset at home.

Should he not be available, Kario Oquendo will likely shoulder the load for the Bulldog's offense. Oquendo scored 18 against the Wildcats in the previous matchup and averaging 16 points in his last three home games this season.

Oscar Tshiebwe was nearly unstoppable in the previous matchup against the Bulldog's. He finished the night with an incredible 34 points and 24 rebounds (both season highs). But after his career night in Lexington, Tshiebwe has been relatively quiet, as he has been held to single digits in scoring 3 of his last 6 outings. Taking advantage of his recent cold streak will be the key to a Bulldogs victory.
