Blair Green leads four players in double figures as Kentucky basketball edges Auburn.
When the Kentucky basketball team tangles with the Auburn women it always seems to be an edge-of-your-seat finish. Wednesday was no exception as the No. 12 ranked Wildcats held off host Auburn 76-71.
Kentucky has won 13 of the last 14 matchups with the Tigers, but like Thursday’s tussle they had to fight off a 20 point rally from Auburn last year in Lexington.
Blair Green finished with a game-high 18 points on 7 of 9 field goal shooting (2 of 3 threes) and was perfect on both foul shots.
