The Kentucky Wildcats were due for a game where they were firing on all cylinders, and unfortunately for the Auburn Tigers, that game came against them on Saturday.
Yet, Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl somewhat saw this coming, as he envisioned a blowout loss earlier this week. After narrowly defeating Ole Miss 78-74 on Wednesday, Pearl concluded his postgame press conference by saying, “We rebound like we did tonight — we’ll get beat by 40.”
In that game, the Tigers lost the rebounding battle 24-33, on Saturday, they lost 23-41. As Pearl expected, that result was bad.
