In addition to my column, three takeaways from Kentucky basketball’s 82-80 win at Auburn:
1. Kentucky has morphed into road warriors.
We might not have imagined that considering the way John Calipari’s Cats were absolutely clocked by Duke on a neutral floor in November. Or the way the Cats lost to a so-so Seton Hall in overtime in Madison Square Garden in December. Or the way the Cats came up on the short end of a 77-75 score at Alabama in the SEC opener two weeks ago.
With the victory here at Auburn Arena, UK is now 3-1 in true road games.
