Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as both are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. Georgia State hasn’t had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 75.3 points per game. However, it’s not like Kentucky struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 95.3. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.
