As the old saying goes, ‘streaks are meant to be broken.’ Yesterday, Auburn came to Lexington looking to pick up their first win at Rupp Arena in over 30 years, while the Kentucky Wildcats were hoping to snap a four-game losing streak. Something had to give.
Freshman Isaiah Jackson put together his best game as a Cat with 18 points and 11 rebounds as they survived a late comeback by Auburn to secure the win, 82-80.
In a season where wins have been about as common as snowfalls, fans have learned to appreciate each and every one that happens.
