ESPN College Gameday will be coming to Auburn for a basketball game for the very first time on Saturday. The Tigers will host the Kentucky Wildcats for a rematch of last season’s Elite Eight matchup between the two schools.
It had appeared that the Wildcats had hit their stride after the big win at Texas Tech on Saturday. However, it took a valiant comeback to get a win at home over the helpless Vanderbilt Commodores on Wednesday.
Nick Richards is carrying this team right now. As he spent most of the first half against Vandy on the bench, Kentucky struggled mightily across the board.
