00:00Kentucky has been a big surprise.

00:02I don't know that anybody had them ranked this high

00:04at this point in the season.

00:05They were maybe a transition year with Mark Pope.

00:07Not the case.

00:08Two and a half point favorites tonight.

00:09Georgia's very good, even though they're not ranked.

00:11Usually in college hoops, we see a big rally

00:15from the home team that's not ranked

00:18taking on a team that is highly ranked.

00:20You know how it works.

00:21They rush the court, the whole thing after.

00:23Does that happen tonight in Athens?

00:26Well, it will if Kentucky doesn't start to defend better.

00:30That's a significant absence from the portfolio

00:34of the Wildcats at this point.

00:36Scored 100 plus against Florida at home on Saturday.

00:41Gave up 100.

00:43So they have to do better,

00:44especially guarding pick and rolls.

00:47I think this is a great chance for them

00:48to work on their defense,

00:49because Georgia's a very fine team,

00:51but not a great offense.

00:53The home court advantage at Stegman

00:54is not always as great when Kentucky comes in,

00:57because Kentucky often brings a lot of people

01:00to that building, because it's a place they know,

01:02in the past, they were able to get into.

01:05So that'll be interesting to watch,

01:07how much of a home court advantage the Bulldogs have.

01:10I kinda like Kentucky here,

01:12but if I were to not go on any of the games

01:17that we're gonna discuss, this would be the one.
