With a perfect regular season in sight, No. 1 Kentucky looks downright unstoppable.
Georgia is the next team standing in the way, hoping to somehow trip up the Wildcats.
Good luck with that.
The team the Bulldogs will be hosting on Tuesday night has won its first 29 games, looking very much like one of the greatest groups in college basketball history.
”There are a lot of talented teams,” Georgia coach Mark Fox said. ”But this team is talented and big and deep. And then they combine great unselfishness with that. That makes `em a terrific team.”
There's a lot on the line for the Bulldogs, as well.
Walter Cornett, of Glendale, Kentucky, is the owner and operator of Walter's Wildcat World. He founded WildcatWorld.com in 1998 making it one of the oldest Kentucky basketball fan sites in operation today.
