UGA basketball lands prime-time game versus Kentucky

The Georgia Bulldogs basketball team will be playing the Kentucky Wildcats in prime-time in their second game of 2020. Anthony Edwards is a likely culprit for the Dawgs getting more prime-time attention.

Tom Crean and the Bulldogs are 9-3 to start the season including 8-0 at home. Georgia faces a tough two game stretch to tip off 2020: they travel to 9th rated Memphis and then 17th rated Kentucky comes to Stegeman Coliseum. Will Georgia be able to continue their perfect home stretch?

The Kentucky game will tip-off at 9:00 P.M. and will be aired on ESPN:

It’s an important for the Dawgs to win one of these two games. With UGA currently 70th in the NCAA’s NET Rankings, the Bulldogs need a quality win to pad their NCAA Tournament resume.

Georgia additionally must aim for a winning record in conference play. With a 10-8 or better SEC record, the Bulldogs would have better tournament hopes. Last season, Florida and Ole Miss made the NCAA Tournament after going 9-9 and 10-8 in conference play respectively.

This week should help Dawg fans ease the pain of the end of football season. Let’s enjoy Anthony Edwards while he’s here!
