Georgetown Upsets Kentucky 84-70 at Rupp Arena

Georgetown stunned Kentucky 84-70 in an exhibition at Rupp Arena, handing the Wildcats an exhibition-season record of 1-1 after Kentucky’s earlier win over preseason No. 1 Purdue. The Hoyas dominated the paint 38-24 and pressured Kentucky into poor looks, as the Wildcats shot 33.3% overall and 7-for-30 from three, going 0-for-13 from deep in the second half. Otega Oweh led Kentucky with 17 points (4-for-12), while Mouhamed Dioubate scored 13 and was the only starter to make at least half his shots. Pre-game expectations that Kentucky’s top-ranked defense and improved three-point shooting would carry them did not materialize, as Georgetown’s inside scoring and defensive pressure decided the game.
