After a lackluster eight-point win in Columbia on Tuesday night, the Kentucky Wildcats return to Rupp Arena for a Saturday afternoon matchup with the Auburn Tigers.
This will be Kentucky’s first game of the season without all five starters able to play, as Reid Travis will sit out with a sprained right knee, which could sideline him until SEC Tournament play begins.
In the meantime, Kentucky will look to get more production from reserve bigs Nick Richards and EJ Montgomery. However, Auburn plays a lot of four-guard lineups, so Kentucky may end up playing Keldon Johnson at the 4 for much of this game anyhow.
