Tonight at 9 p.m., Kentucky will take on the tenth-ranked Auburn Tigers in Auburn, Alabama. As we continue to count down the time until tipoff, here are ten things you should know about the best team in the SEC.
1. They score a lot
The Tigers lead the SEC and are tied for eighth nationally in scoring with 85.5 points per game. To put that into context, they’re currently on pace to be the SEC’s highest-scoring team since the 1996 Kentucky squad, which averaged 91.4 points per game. Auburn has eclipsed the 90-point mark four times in SEC play, two more than any other team.
