For the first time since the 1989-1990 seasons, Auburn has won back-to-back games against Kentucky at home.
Auburn (23-3, 11-2) finished off Kentucky (17-9, 6-7) with a 20-7 scoring run that helped the Tigers take a 76-66 win. The win helps the Tigers maintain a 2-game advantage at the top of the Southeastern Conference.
Bryce Brown sealed the deal with a 3-pointer with 1:43 to go, which put Auburn up seven points. He showed little hesitation despite not being 100 percent, finishing with a game-high 18 points.
