Kentucky just survived a late rally (and the referees) to knock off No. 14 Auburn 82-80 on the road.
The Wildcats (14-3, 4-1 SEC) took a 17-point lead early in the second half, but Auburn rallied and actually took the lead late.
The Tigers missed a potential game-winning shot in the closing seconds and Kentucky escaped with a big road win.
