SEC Saturday Recap
SEC Basketball kicked-off this past Saturday. Most games went according to plan, however their where a few “upsets” and bizarre games. Here is a brief write up on each.
Georgia 77 Kentucky 70
Biggest upset of the weekend by far, the Dawgs were able to build an 11 point halftime lead and held on in the second half for the win. The victory should help propel the Georgia team into the East race. The questions going into the race was did Georgia had the depth to hang with Kentucky and Florida.
Top Performers:
Kentucky: Terrance Jones 24/10
Georgia: Trey Thompsons 25/7/2 blocks
Up next: Georgia@ Vandy; Kentucky-Auburn
