The Georgia Bulldogs are in need of a win after Mississippi State thrashed them on Saturday in Starkville, dropping them to eleventh place in the SEC early on in conference play.
On Tuesday, the Dawgs will get a chance to avenge another previous loss this season to the Kentucky Wildcats, in a game UGA led at halftime but faltered down the stretch to lose in front of a packed Stegeman Coliseum.
In order to beat the Wildcats this time around in enemy territory, the Dawgs will need to play a much more physical brand of basketball than they did during the matchup on January 7th, in which Kentucky dominated the glass in the second half and slowed the game down to play at their pace.
UGA will also need freshman sensation Anthony Edwards to replicate the Herculean performance he displayed last week in a home win over Tennessee, in which he scored 20 points in the first half alone.
Needless to say, this will not be an easy matchup for Tom Crean and company. We’ll see how they fare in this tough SEC contest.
