Kentucky vs. Georgia: Live Score and Highlights for 2016 SEC Tournament Game

No. 16 Kentucky 93, Georgia 80

The No. 16 Kentucky Wildcats moved on to the SEC tournament final on Saturday with a come-from-behind win over the Georgia Bulldogs. 

Georgia shocked the Wildcats with a spectacular first-half performance led by Kenny Gaines. The Bulldogs entered the locker room with 48 points, which was the total they recorded at Rupp Arena in the lone regular-season meeting between the two teams. 

Kentucky kept itself within reach throughout the first 20 minutes thanks to Jamal Murray, who scored 19 points in the first half. 

Mark Fox's Bulldogs extended their hot start into the second half, but they lost a good amount of momentum when point guard J.J. Frazier limped to the locker room with a leg injury. Frazier eventually returned to the contest, but he didn't have the same impact on the game.

Kentucky pulled ahead for the first time since 3-2 with 8:18 remaining in the second half thanks to an Isaiah Briscoe basket. The Wildcats did not concede the lead after that moment. 

Murray delivered the dagger from beyond the arc with 1:53 to go in the second half. The star freshman led all scorers with 26 points. 

Tyler Ulis, Derek Willis, Alex Poythress and Briscoe all scored in double figures for the Wildcats, who will face Texas A&M in Sunday's final at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. 

Yante Maten led Georgia with 20 points. The Bulldogs will have a long wait ahead of them as they currently sit on the outside of the bubble.
