Kentucky vs. Georgia: Live basketball updates, scores and highlights
No. 17 Kentucky men's basketball (11-3, 1-1) fell in a tough match to LSU in Baton Rouge on Tuesday night, and lost starting point guard Sahvir Wheeler in the process.
It is unclear if Wheeler will be able to play in Saturday's game against his former team, Georgia, but his impact on the game was on full display during UK's loss. Wheeler leads the Southeastern Conference in assists per game (7.3). Despite shooting just 17.4% (4 for 23) from 3-point range, Wheeler has proven himself to be an essential piece to Kentucky’s offense, beat writer Jon Hale wrote.
Kentucky should have little trouble dispatching a Georgia team that 212th nationally according to KenPom.com and has lost four of its last five games, Hale wrote. Including in that stretch are home losses to George Mason, East Tennessee State and Gardner Webb.
