Bruce Pearl says Auburn was “no match” for Kentucky’s physicality

While it hasn’t always been the case this season, the Kentucky Wildcats used their athleticism and physicality to absolutely crush the Auburn Tigers today en route to a 32-point win.

At one point, Kentucky was outscoring Auburn 46-17 in the second half before the Tigers ended the game on an 8-0 run with walk-ons finishing things out.

Reigning National Player of the Year Oscar Tshiebwe was at the forefront of that dominating style of play Saturday. The Cats ended with 41 rebounds, 12 of them on the offensive glass, while Tshiebwe grabbed 17 boards by himself and scored a game-high 22 points.
