Kentucky Wildcats
Last time out, Kentucky hosted the Arkansas Razorbacks and were dominated in an 88-73 defeat.

Kentucky trailed by as many as 16 points, never led by more than two, and lost outright as -5.5-point home favorites.

Georgia welcomed the Ole Miss Rebels and suffered a poor 78-74 loss. This was a tight back and forth contest all night long, but it was the Rebels who came out on top. The Bulldogs led most of the second half, but they could not get over the finish line in this resume crushing loss. Georgia led by as many as six points, trailed by four, and could not cover the +2.0-point spread.
