Georgia men's basketball cruised to a 82-69 victory over #6 Kentucky Tuesday evening. In what was a magical night in Stegman Coliseum, UGA basketball picked up its biggest win of the season so far against 6th-ranked Kentucky.

Freshman forward Asa Newell scored 12 of his 17 points after halftime and Georgia led the entire second half in beating No. 6 Kentucky 82-69 for its first win over a top-10 team in five years.

Kentucky’s distance shooting woes returned in Athens. One game after the Cats lit up Rupp Arena with a 14-for-29 3-point shooting clinic against Florida, one of the best 3-point defenses in the country, Kentucky went just 6-for-25 from distance against Georgia, which also boasts a 3-point defense that ranks in the top 20 nationally.
