Kentucky edges Auburn: 5 things we learned and postgame talk
Coming into Saturday’s game, John Calipari’s Kentucky Wildcats were winners of three straight in SEC play. However, their competition had been considered inferior.
On Saturday, though, their efforts were put to the test during their visit to the Auburn Tigers.
After a fairly contested first half of both teams going back-and-forth, Kentucky closed the first period with a 9-0 run to take a 35-27 lead into the locker room.
To start the second half, the Wildcats picked up where they left off by opening with a 10-2 run for a commanding lead. While Auburn battled back, Kentucky’s efforts on the glass and efficiency shooting the basketball held true late in the game.
