Kentucky vs Georgia Live Radio Broadcast, Preview: Wildcats Now Alone in Quest to Be Unbeaten
ByUndefeated and unanimously atop the AP poll, the Kentucky Wildcats (1) are on upset watch every week and will look to preserve their record Tuesday night against the Georgia Bulldogs.
But Georgia will be without their top scorer and rebounder and an extremely valuable big man in Marcus Thornton. With Kentucky's size, athleticism and physicality, the six-foot-eight, 235-pound power forward would have been a key matchup in the low post.

With Virginia suffering a loss to Duke, Kentucky is the last NCAA Division I men's basketball team that can go undefeated since Indiana did so during the 1975-1976 season. The dominant Wildcats have also seemingly regained their identity since opening their SEC schedule with close overtime wins against Ole Miss and Texas A&M nearly a month ago.
"This team, the question is, how good can we be," Kentucky coach John Calipari said in a pregame news conference, according to ESPN. "And I don't know yet. I'm trying to get guys to go to that next level. I'm prodding and pushing and screaming and yelling, go, because I really do want to see how good can we really be."
But with every win, the stakes get bigger. Some teams in the SEC remaining on Kentucky's schedule do not have a shadow of a chance in the NCAA Tournament, so playing the Wildcats is their big game.
