What to Know

The Georgia Bulldogs have enjoyed the comforts of home their last eight games, but now they must head out on the road. UGA and the #16 Kentucky Wildcats will face off in an SEC battle at 6 p.m. ET Saturday at Rupp Arena at Central Bank Center. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

The Bulldogs lost 81-79 to the Texas A&M Aggies on Tuesday on a last-minute half-court bomb from A&M's guard Marcus Williams with 0:02 left to play. Georgia's loss came about despite a quality game from guard Kario Oquendo, who had 21 points in addition to five boards.

Meanwhile, UK was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Tuesday as they fell 65-60 to the LSU Tigers. A silver lining for UK was the play of forward Jacob Toppin, who had 14 points along with eight rebounds.

UGA is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. True fans might be the only ones betting on them, currently 4-9-1 ATS, to cover the spread.

The Bulldogs got away with a 63-62 win when the two teams previously met in January of last year. The rematch might be a little tougher for them since the squad won't have home-court advantage. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
