The Kentucky Wildcats traveled down to Auburn and looked ready to play. They jumped out to an early double digit lead against the No. 2 Auburn Tigers before things started to take a turn. Ultimately, the Wildcats picked up their fourth loss of the season with a final score of 80-71.
To be fair, Kentucky did lose TyTy Washington and Sahvir Wheeler to injury during the game. While Wheeler would return for a while before getting re-injured in a similar play, Washington did not, and the team never looked the same without him.
The Wildcats were led by Wheeler and Kellen Grady with 17 points each, and Oscar got another double-double with 16 points and 14 rebounds to go with four blocks.
