Kentucky Loses To Georgia Tech 79-62

By Peggy Gilligan

Kentucky with the loss to Georgia Tech in Atlanta for the Pit Boss Holiday Hoopsgiving is 1-3 for the first time since 2000. The Cats shot the ball 

better but the down fall of this team so far has been turnovers.  It hard to find a bright spot but the team did improve on the three point shooting in this game hitting eight of nineteen for 42%. 

Terrence Clarke lead the Wildcats with 22 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and was 3 of 4 from the three point line tonight. Brandon Boston also showed  a glimmer of hope for the Big Blue Nation with his 11 points, 4 rebounds, and three 3-point shots.

Now lets discuss the Cats woeful display of ball handling by the entire team. The number one recruiting class in America this year which includes four of this years starters: Askew, Jackson, Boston, and Clarke collectively tonight had 12 of the 21 turnovers for the game. The hope for all of the Big Blue Nation this season seems to be that Coach Calipari can work a miracle during Camp Cal now that the semester is over and more practice time is allowed. 

The next game for Kentucky is this Saturday December 12th  against Norte Dame at Rupp Arena. Good Luck Cats stay positive and play together.
