Game card: Kentucky

Opponent: Kentucky
Record:  29-0 (16-0)
Best player:  Take your pick.  Seriously, it changes almost every night.
Line:  Kentucky -10.5

Why Georgia will win:  If anyone is going to beat Kentucky before tournament time, it may just be Georgia.  This is Kentucky's last true road game, and perhaps they'll be looking ahead to their real season, which starts in about two weeks.  Georgia is approaching healthy for the first time in a long time, and if a couple of the shooters can get going, they play good enough defense to keep it close.

Why Georgia will lose:  Kentucky is, by far, the best team in the country.  They play stifling defense, they have multiple NBA big men, and their overall talent is simply overwhelming.  It is, quite frankly, not fair, and there's no reason to pick against them in any game, let alone this one.  The only reason Georgia kept it close is because Kentucky's shooters were a little off in Rupp.  Don't expect a repeat performance.

What I think will happen:  I don't think Georgia will get embarrassed.  I also don't think they'll win.  Kentucky wins 72-58.
