Kentucky came into Saturday’s match up with Auburn desperately needing a win. Maybe more so than any other time in school history.
Since Rupp Arena opened its doors, there had never been three straight losses for Lexington’s beloved Wildcats.
UK got off to a slow start considering it took over four minutes before they converted their first made field goal. It came on a thunderous slam by Isaiah Jackson who dominated inside all afternoon.
Early on, it was more of what we’ve seen all season as UK labored to score the ball. In the first eight minutes of the game they were just 2-13 from the field with three turnovers.
