Kentucky Basketball was outrebounded 42-28.

Ummm…yeah.

What deep analysis do you need there? Auburn destroyed Kentucky Basketball on the boards. The Cats were beaten on the offensive glass by a 17-6 margin.

It was an annihilation!

Nick Richards struggled to control the paint as he has for much of this season, finishing with only 7 points and 7 rebounds.

There were a number of long rebound opportunities, as well. This is evidenced by the fact that Quickley was the second leading rebounder with 5 and Maxey was tied for the third leading rebounder with 4.

E.J., Brooks, and Nate Sestina combined for 7 total rebounds.
