On February 23rd, playing their first game with Reid Travis out of the lineup, UK blitzed Auburn from the jump on their way to an impressive 80-53 victory. UK put up an outstanding 1.27 points possession led by PJ Washington who collected 24 points and drilled five treys. It was over from the start and Auburn gave itself no chance shooting 29.6 percent (8-for-27) from three-point land. Since then, it’s been a different story for the Tigers.
AU has won 11 in a row since that defeat with six victories over top 25 KenPom teams. In this run, the Tigers are shooting 39.
