Kentucky’s Brea questionable to face Dawgs
Koby Brea (undisclosed) is listed as questionable for Kentucky’s tilt with Georgia. Brea is coming off a career game, hitting seven threes in the win over Florida to topple the unbeaten Gators. His loss would be significant for Kentucky, and would be Brea’s first absence of the season. The Manhattan, New York native averages 12.7 points and 3.3 rebounds.
UGA’s Montgomery probable to face UK
De’Shayne Montgomery (undisclosed) is listed as probable for Georgia’s clash with Kentucky. Montgomery has played in the last four contests after missing the first 10 games of the season. It still appears as if the guard will still play at the moment, which is big for the Bulldogs considering he averages 13.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists this season. It’s unclear what’s ailing Montgomery.

Kentucky vs. Georgia CBB Prediction:
Take Georgia. The Bulldogs have given the Wildcats trouble in previous meetings, even when Georgia hasn’t had quality teams. In the last six meetings between these rivals, the Bulldogs are 6-1 against the spread. Usually they’re receiving more than two points but again, they haven’t always had quality teams and they’ve still hung with the Wildcats. Plus, with the ‘Cats coming off the big win against Florida, I think UK is ripe for the taking.
