Kentucky’s not-so-secret keys of the Auburn game? Getting off to a fast start and limiting three-pointers

And it’s really no secret what the keys of the game are for Kentucky to pull off the victory.

Averaging 84.5 points (No. 2 in the SEC) and 10.9 three-point field goals (No. 1 in the SEC) per game, Auburn is one of the most explosive offensive teams not only in the conference, but in all of college basketball. In order to come out of Auburn Arena with a victory tomorrow afternoon, Kentucky must find a way to get over their slow starts and issues defending the three-point line.

During the team’s pregame media opportunity this afternoon, Kentucky guards Tyler Herro and Jemarl Baker said those two fairly obvious keys of the game have been stressed relentlessly over the course of the week during practice and film sessions.
