After an impressive win in Athens, UK’s road trip will continue with a clash against Bruce Pearl’s Auburn squad on The Plains. Both teams enter this weekend with one SEC road loss and to keep pace with Tennessee (plus LSU and South Carolina at the moment) they will need a victory today.
In Pearl’s fifth season, the Tigers entered this year with very high expectations. They haven’t disappointed to this point. Auburn has been in the top-15 all season and took Duke to the wire in the Maui Invitational. However, they are still looking for a marquee win and could secure one today.
