UK gets its first conference victory in a hard fought match vs an under rated Georgia Bulldogs team hot off a victory over #17 Georgia Tech. The Cats trailed at half time but 2nd Half heroics from DeMarcus Cousins and DeAndre Liggins kept the Cats in the game. Eric Bledsoe had a solid game for the Cats today but it was a huge test as the Cats struggled to the Bulldogs in their SEC Home Opener. Kentucky was able to pull a way late in the 2nd Half with a 76-68 win as UGA's front court consisting Albert Jackson, Chris Barnes and Jeremy Price all fouled out. It proved to be a test for the Cats as they faced an even matched front court based on height with a 6'11 Albert Jackson and 6'9 Trey Thompkins. The Wildcats go on the road on Tuesday night in Gainsville, Florida to take on Billy Donovan's Florida Gators in what will be UK's biggest road test of the season.
