The season is spiraling downward for Kentucky, however it has an final get-right spot this weekend, welcoming the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs to Kroger Subject. With simply two video games left within the season, the Cats have to try to make some type of optimistic impression forward of the Governor’s Cup in opposition to Louisville. Listed here are our closing daring predictions as UK tries to knock off the Dawgs:
Hunter
To be fairly sincere, I’ve nothing significantly daringto foretell in terms of this sport. I believe Georgia waltzes into Kroger Subject and leaves with a fairly straightforward win.

If i am being beneficiant, I do not assume Will Levis will throw an interception on Saturday. Even when the rating will get lopsided, there doubtless will not be any time for him to drive throws as a result of the UGA protection shall be in his face within the backfield.
Moreover, I believe Chris Rodriguez fails to log over 75 speeding yards. He might rip off one or two first rate runs, however I do not see the senior averaging 5 yards a carry or something like that.
My actual, and never so daring prediction is it should be a protracted, lengthy day for each Kentucky’s offense and protection.
Matt
I like Hunter’s prediction on this one, so I’ll add to it. Georgia is probably going going to win this ball sport, however it’s simply going to be as a result of they overpower Kentucky down the stretch.

Will Levis will defend the soccer, and the Wildcats will drive no less than two turnovers and win the turnover battle, in a sport they nonetheless come up quick in.

Now that the ink has dried and his signing with Kentucky has been made official, Jasper Johnson was finally able to be formally introduced to the Rupp Arena crowd during the Wildcats’ 87-68 win over Western Kentucky on Tuesday night.
Johnson, a class of 2025 five-star point guard born and raised in Lexington, sat courtside with his family to check out his future team in action against the Hilltoppers. During the second half, former Kentucky player Ravi Moss brought out the future Wildcat to midcourt where he was met with a chorus of cheers from the packed crowd of Big Blue Nationites.
After initially committing to Kentucky back in September, Johnson signed the necessary papers to play his college basketball at UK earlier this month. He’s been inside Rupp Arena plenty of times before over the years (and even played here with Woodford County as a sophomore), but never while wearing street clothes as the center of attention in front of over 20,000 screaming fans.

Johnson is one of three signees from Mark Pope‘s first recruiting class as Kentucky’s head coach, joining four-star center Malachi Moreno and four-star point guard Acaden Lewis. The 6-foot-4 guard is ranked No. 14 overall in the nation by the On3 Industry Ranking. He’s currently finishing up his high school career at Overtime Elite as a member of Rod Wave Elite (RWE).
Alongside Tay Kinney, a talented class of 2026 guard who is also from Kentucky and is being recruited by Pope, the two Bluegrass natives form arguably the deadliest backcourt duo in all of OTE. Through five games played this season, Johnson is averaging 19.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per outing while shooting 47.9 percent from the floor and 42.9 percent from deep.
