At Rupp Arena on Jan. 31, Georgia led by two points with 10 seconds left in the game. Malik Monk then hit a long dagger from the left wing to tie the game and ultimately sent it to overtime. The Bulldogs fell 90-81 from there.

On Feb. 18, Georgia and Kentucky were deadlocked at 75 with 28 seconds left to play. But after De'Aaron Fox made two free throws, the Bulldogs were unable to match the Wildcats and lost 82-77.

There would seem to be a lot Georgia, which defeated Tennessee 59-57 in the SEC Tournament second round, can take away from those previous games when it faces Kentucky in the quarterfinals Friday.

But as guard J.J. Frazier sees it, this is a new game. Nothing that happened previously matters this time around.

"We don't take moral victories," Frazier said.

This is a game Georgia desperately wants, and needs, to win. Not only would a win over Kentucky potentially place Georgia in the NCAA Tournament, it would be the signature victory head coach Mark Fox has missed out on throughout his eight-year tenure.

Georgia coach Mark Fox on UK: They're a team that, you know, if they get the right matchups they can win the whole thing (NCAA).

UK's lead is now 21-12 and the fans are very much into it. UGA is having the hardest time getting open looks that I've seen all year.

That's Georgia's second shot-clock violation.

Tyree Crump's missed two 3s but Georgia needs him to keep shooting. Gotta manufacture points from behind the arc to get back in this.

That's two fouls on Fox with 6:09 to go in the first half. He leads all scorers with 8 points but will now sit.

Frazier was scoreless until 4:18 to go in the half. Six points in a hurry.

No. 1 seed Kentucky up 32-25 on No. 8 seed Georgia at the half. Dawgs made late run w/Monk, Fox, Adebayo in foul trouble. #SECTourney

Calipari had to play some offensively deficient lineups big minutes in the first half...still up 7 so I will take it

Neither team shooting it all that well. The Cats are 36.4 percent from the floor while Georgia is at 30.0 percent.

Malik Monk, coming off 6 points at Texas A&M, with just two in the first half today. That feels very strange.
