    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Big Nasty:</div><div class="quote_post">LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- A little rest was all Georgia needed to record another upset.

    Rashad Wright scored 20 points to lift the Bulldogs past No. 5 Kentucky 65-57 on Saturday, ending the Wildcats' 19-game Southeastern Conference regular-season winning streak.

    Georgia (9-5, 1-2 SEC) beat a top-five opponent for the second time this month. The Bulldogs downed then-No. 3 Georgia Tech 83-80 in double overtime on Jan. 3.

    "This was one of those moments we should embrace," Georgia basketball coach Dennis Felton said.

    In between the win over Georgia Tech and the win over Kentucky, Georgia lost its first two SEC games, to Tennessee and South Carolina, by more than 20 points each. With a week between the South Carolina and Kentucky games, Felton gave his players three days off, citing "overall fatigue."

    The Bulldogs looked anything but tired against the Wildcats (11-2, 2-1), outrebounding them 36-23 and going 6-of-12 from the 3-point line.</div>


    Man,this one did shock me...for real..I figured Kentucky would win this one handily because the Bulldogs are nowhere near the level they were last season.....
