Frazier picks up two quick fouls and leaves with 6:33 left in the half.
Whatever happens, let the record show that Georgia has rallied to tie it with Maten injured and Frazier out with two fouls.
Frazier comes back in at the 2:33 mark, with Georgia trailing 28-25. Yeah, there's only so long so you can hang with Kentucky without your two best players.
J.J. Frazier sinks a long 3 at the buzzer and then turns and runs into the locker room, as the crowd stands and cheers.
Georgia still trails at halftime, 33-31, but that last shot is quite a lift. Prior to that the difference - besides Maten's injury - was 3-point shooting.
Kentucky is 4-for-10 beyond the arc. Georgia was 0-for-7 before that Frazier shot.
Maten is obviously out for the rest of the game - he's not warming up at halftime - but he's fielding rebounds for teammates, walking on his own power.
It looked like Kentucky could run out and extend the lead, but Georgia's on a 4-0 run, with Mike Edwards making a layup and a short jumper. Then we had a double-technical foul: Jawing between Edwards and a Kentucky player after Wilridge blocked a shot out of bounds, then appeared to stare awhile at his vanquished shot-taker.
Kentucky facing some foul trouble here, with three key guys (Fox, Briscoe and Hawkins) all with three fouls. Georgia is already in the bonus with 12:42 left.
But Frazier is having an uncharacteristically rough game at the line. He's now 6-for-9 .
MAKE THE FREE THROWS!
Every time Georgia ties it or briefly goes ahead, Kentucky has a quick answer.
I have to say, considering everything this is the most heart I've seen Georgia show in some time. And by different players.
First heart and now fire, perhaps too much: Pape Diatta has to be separated and the ensuing scrum has Mark Fox come across the court to try to calm things down. It happened after Diatta and a Kentucky player were tangled up following a Georgia defensive rebound.
You see what happens when Maten and Ogbeide aren't in there: Georgia has trouble reobunding. Two straight offensive rebounds for Kentucky, the second one leading to a Houston Kessler over-the-back call.
Ogbeide coming back in now.
Ogbeide with a tough call against him there, looked like he kept his hands up as Kentucky player drove into him. That's Ogbeide's third foul, as Georgia holds a two-point lead.
And now a fourth foul on Ogbeide, who did appear to get body there on Monk's drive.
Where is Jordan Harris? We need to give Crump more time to get a rhythm.
