Kentucky was completely outclassed today. Auburn is excellent. Kentucky also did not play well. One of their worst games of the season.
Miles Kelly torched Kentucky from outside and Auburn simply has way more guys who can go make stuff happen on their own. Defensively the Tigers executed a tremendous game plan, getting out on shooters and wiping out easy baskets in transition.
When Auburn banked in back-to-back three-point shots early in the game you had to feel like it was a bad omen. The Tigers got initial separation after UK's starters went out and the Cats committed a flurry of turnovers. Kentucky came out battling on defense but Auburn scored a lot of early points off turnovers.
Kentucky's bench was an absolute non-factor today. Pope rode the starters more than usual. The backups gave almost nothing.
The Tigers will win the hardest conference of all time by 2+ games and their only losses are to No. 2 and No. 3. They also played very well even getting little from Broome. So today was a showcase of how good Auburn is, how bad Kentucky played, and how bad the matchup was.
