John Calipari and Wildcats recap win over Tigers

There haven’t been many days to be proud of this year for the Kentucky Wildcats men’s basketball program.

But Saturday was indeed one of the few days to be proud.

Kentucky, losers of four straight, hosted the Auburn Tigers at Rupp Arena on Saturday and displayed one of their better offensive performances of the season. They also made clutch shots late en route to defeating Auburn by a score of 82-80.

Isaiah Jackson led the way by spending his afternoon at the free-throw line, scoring eight of his team high 18 points from the stripe.
