Kentucky's lack of a true presence in the middle showed it's ugly head today, as Georgia pounded the ball inside to come away with a victory against our Wildcats. Trey Tompkins came up with 25 points and 7 rebounds to lead the Georgia Bulldogs attack against our beloved Wildcats. His performance reminded me of Tyler Zellar's performance earlier in the season, another loss by Kentucky.
Josh Harrellson came into this game with much hype surrounding him. While he did manage to pull down 11 rebounds, Josh Harrellson only scraped in 4 points. On the other end of the court is where the concern was spotted out big time. Harrellson just does not have the ability at this point to stop an aggressive and talented big man.Where was Brandon Knight? Knight pulled down 5 rebounds and added 10 points. The stat for him that jumps out to me is on the free throw line. Brandon Knight only made it to the charity stripe 1 time, going 0-1 during the game. That means he was not being as aggressive going to the basket as he normally is.
Terrance Jones got in foul trouble early. His performance was very reminiscent of the UNC game. He seemed very frustrated to me. Terrance Jones did end up with a double double, with 24 points and 10 rebounds. I would like to have seen his stats if he didn't get into that foul trouble.
