Hard to Watch: Wildcats Defeat Georgia 76-68

Shocked couple watching television


In a game which many thought would be a blowout, the Wildcats needed a lot of help from their Cousins to pull out a victory over the Georgia Bulldogs. Additionally, DeAndre Liggins continues to impress and has given some more depth to the UK bench. The Wildcats played horrible at times, but managed to win. Certainly, this proves that the Wildcats will need to bring their best game to the court every night in order to remain undefeated. However, I do not see the Wildcats going undefeated this season. I've always bought into the theory that it's best to get a "wake-up" call during conference play than to go undefeated and get caught "off-guard" in the NCAA tournament.

Florida is up next for the Wildcats on Tuesday night - the Wildcats might just earn their first L. However, given how tight the Georgia game was, I expect the Wildcats to come out pumped up. I'm sure that Coach Cal will use film from yesterday's game to show his young Wildcats what they can't do from here on out if they truly wish to go undefeated this season. Should the Wildcats not come ready to play in Gainesville, the trip back to Lexington could be a rather long one.
