Kentucky Basketball box score and highlights from thriller at Georgia

Whew.

That one was close, which seems to be the case anytime Kentucky plays in Athens.

Even the elite teams like the 38-1 Wildcats squad struggled to beat Georgia in their home building, so we probably shouldn’t be surprised this Kentucky team was barely able to squeak this one out with a hard-fought win.

But a win is a win, and the free-throw stripe proved to be the difference in this one. From the 6:17 mark to game’s end, the Cats hit 17 of 18 shots from the charity stripe to escape with an 82-77 win.

This was actually the fourth time in the last five meetings with Kentucky that Georgia held a late lead before the Cats stormed back to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

Here is the final box score from UK’s latest thriller in Athens:
