The oddsmakers set the bar high, but Kentucky and Georgia didn’t disappoint and broke past the 162.5 point over/under on Saturday. The Wildcats came out on top against the Bulldogs by a score of 105-96. Having run the score up that high, both teams might be doing some extra defensive drills very soon.

Those 23 points set a new season-high mark for him. The team also got some help courtesy of Antonio Reeves, who scored 21 points along with five rebounds.

Arkansas typically has all the answers at home, but on Saturday South Carolina proved too difficult a challenge. They walked away with a 77-64 victory over the Razorbacks. Winning is a bit easier when you work as a team to post 11 more assists than your opponent, as South Carolina did.

South Carolina can attribute much of their success to B.J. Mack, who scored 18 points along with nine rebounds. Ta’Lon Cooper was another key contributor, scoring 11 points along with five assists.

The Wildcats are on a roll lately: they’ve won eight of their last nine matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 14-3 record this season. As for the Gamecocks, their victory bumped their record up to 15-3.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Kentucky have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 38.3 rebounds per game. However, it’s not like South Carolina struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 37 rebounds per game. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
