Auburn coach Hugh Freeze is making a late arrival to Lexington for Saturday's game against Kentucky after dealing with an illness, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel.

Freeze didn't travel with the Tigers on Friday after falling ill, potentially due to food poisoning, sources said. He is flying to join his team Saturday morning ahead of a 7:45 p.m. ET kickoff.

Auburn is in the midst of a four-game losing streak since starting SEC play. It is the first time in school history that the Tigers have started conference play 0-4 in back-to-back years.
