AUBURN, Ala. u2015 Bruce Pearl and his basketball team rocked Auburn Arena and the Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday.
The Tigers rode the long-range shooting of Kareem Canty and the inside-out game of Tyler Harris to stun nationally-ranked Kentucky 75-70 before a roaring and packed house of 9,121 fans. The victory snapped Auburn's 15-game losing streak to Top 25 teams.
Kentucky led 47-35 early in the second half… then Auburn's 3-point shooters got hot. A Canty long jumper put Auburn on top 53-51 and a Harris 3-pointer put Auburn on top 56-51 with 8:27 remaining.
