How No. 12 Kentucky (13-3, 3-1 SEC) and No. 14 Auburn (13-3, 2-1 SEC) match up at each position — with a game prediction:
Small forward
u25aa Kentucky’s Keldon Johnson missed all six of his shots and went scoreless in the Wildcats’ 69-49 win at Georgia on Tuesday. For the 6-foot-6, 215-pound freshman from South Hill, Va., that “oh-fer” in Athens dropped his season scoring average from 15.5 points per game to 14.6. That still makes Johnson (5.2 rebounds per game) UK’s leading scorer.
u25aa Auburn’s Samir Doughty is a “glue guy” who Tigers Coach Bruce Pearl credits with making teammates better.
