Can Kentucky pull off the upset today? Auburn hasn’t won in Rupp in over 35 years but come in as the best team in the country.

Auburn 91
Kentucky 87
 
Don't think so. Not a good matchup for UK. Hurts that Robinson is out as well.

Auburn 85
UK 77

Go Cats!
 
Kentucky 68

in Auburn's 2 losses this year Duke and Florida got really hot from three. I can see UK doing the same. UK also beat the 2 teams to best Auburn this year. Auburn nevers plays well at rupp. 2-51 all time at UK. I am nervous
 
I think it will be a 2 possession game with 2 minutes left.
I think Auburn will go out to a couple 10 point leads when Butler and Oweh have to get a blow, but will find a way to get back in it.
It will come down to who makes the plays at the end.
I trust Baker Mazara, Denver Jones, Broome and Cardwell a bit more unfortunately.

Pettiford has been Auburn's guy late in road games to step up but he has been in a funk the last 2-3 games.

Forgot about him and I don't know how. Probably because there are 10 different guys on that team that are elite at something.

This team’s vastly better than the typical Auburn team, so I don’t think history is much of a factor.
 
What’s the deal there? Thought I saw that he played in the last game.
Yeah he played the first half. Then sat the entire second half with ice wrapped around his wrist.

UK has been pretty silent as to what the actual wrist injury is, but Pope did say he did not come out of the OU game in good shape.

My guess is UK will give it one more go with him in the SEC Tourney to see how the wrist responds. If he is having the same issue, would assume they just shut him down for the NCAAs.

Sounds like there's a good possibility he'll need surgery and will be done for the year.
 
Seems like Auburn should be up by more then 8, if UK can keep it to 6-8 pts going into halftime with all the careless TOs they have had, I would take that in a second.
