It certainly isn’t ideal, but Kentucky leads the Georgia Bulldogs 40-37 after 20 minutes at Rupp Arena.

With Sahvir Wheeler out with a neck injury, the Cats don’t quite look like themselves, especially on defense. The Bulldogs, who were averaging only 44.2% from the field coming in, are shooting 52% from the floor so far, and have four threes. They’re also 7-7 from the charity stripe, whereas the Cats are only 1-1.
