It was Senior Night for the

Wednesday night, but it was
a senior that was missing for
Georgia that made a huge
difference in the Bulldogs
fortune.
Senior guard Levi Stukes
was suspended for the game
against the Wildcats for “con
duct detrimental to the
team," according to a
pregame announcement by
head coach Dennis Felton.
Without Stukes, the
team’s most proficient 3-
point shooter, Georgia was
shot out of Rupp Arena as
Kentucky defeated the
Bulldogs 82-70.
Terrance Woodbury led
the Dogs with 18 points, and
Steve Newman scored 17.

“The excitement (of spring
football) is the unknown,”
head coach Mark Richt said.
With the unknown of
spring football comes the
possible depth chart changes
and adjustments to the posi

stepping in come fall.
But right now, the coaches
are concerned with the team
and getting each player pre

It was a very sloppy first
half for both teams, as both
Georgia and Kentucky
turned the ball over 10 times.
The Bulldogs (17-11, 8-7
SEC) took a 28-26 lead with
1:29 left in the opening half,
but the Wildcats went on an
8-0 run to end the half.
When the second half
came around, Kentucky got
going behind the arc, making
eight of 11 3-pointers.
Senior forward Bobby
Perry led the Wildcats with 22
points, 12 of them coming
from 3-point shots. Ramel
Bradley had 18 points and
Atlanta native Randolph
Morris added 17.
The Bulldogs were down
as much as 17 points in the
second half.
"When the game got away
from us, we weren't tenacious
enough defensively," Felton
said in the postgame radio
show. “I was proud of the way
we kept fighting."
