Kentucky mens basketball defeated Auburn 86-54 inside Rupp Arena on Saturday, moving the Cats to 20-9 on the season and 11-5 in the SEC.

The victory marked the Wildcats’ fourth consecutive win, which tied their longest winning streak of the season.

Fans roared inside Rupp Arena as Kentucky led Auburn for the majority of the game and ended the night 32 points ahead of Tigers, marking the largest win the Cats have had over an SEC opponent all year.

With the win came a common word used by head coach John Calipari and players after the game: confidence.
