3 stars from Kentucky basketball's big win at #13 Auburn
By John Strong
This defensive performance is starting to look like the turning point of the season. Tonight, Kentucky went to Neville Arena and gave Auburn their first home loss of the season. Kentucky held Auburn to 59 points tonight. Before the game, the Tigers were averaging 83.1 points per game. The Cats held Auburn to 30.9% (17-55) from the field and 18.2% (4-22) from the three.
Auburn was 15-0 at home, with all 15 wins coming by double digits and an average of 21.9 points per game. Stat from CatsPause247. That truly says how good Auburn is. Those include beating #11 South Carolina by 40, #16 Alabama by 18, and #22 Ole Miss by 23. This was a great team performance on both sides of the ball. Time to discuss the stars of this game.
