What channel is Kentucky vs Georgia on today? UK basketball odds, game time, TV schedule

Posted by author January 7, 2025 Basketball

Kentucky basketball goes for a 2-0 start in SEC play tonight. To achieve that, UK will have to do something no team has done this season: beat Georgia at Stegeman Coliseum.

The Bulldogs are 9-0 at home since the 2024-25 campaign started. They’ve won 11 straight games at Stegeman dating back to last season; it’s tied for the sixth-longest home winning streak in program history.

The Wildcats, who are No. 7 in the newest USA TODAY Coaches Poll and No. 6 in the latest AP Top 25 rankings, have played only one road game this season. It wasn’t a successful trek for first-year UK coach Mark Pope and his team, as they lost, 70-66, to Clemson at Littlejohn Coliseum in Clemson, South Carolina, last month.

One positive for the Wildcats (12-2, 1-0 SEC): They’ve never had problems beating the Bulldogs (12-2, 0-1) away from home.

Kentucky is 44-19 versus UGA in matchups in Athens, Georgia. Even so, the Wildcats have lost their last two trips to Stegeman, falling by seven points in 2023 (75-68) and one point in 2021 (63-62).

UK has a dominant advantage in the all-time series with Georgia, leading 132-28.
