AUBURN, Ala. – No. 14 Kentucky hit three free throws in the final 25 seconds to hold on to an 82-80 win over No. 12 Auburn.
After a Jared Harper 3-pointer with 32 seconds remaining gave Auburn its first lead since the 4:10 mark in the first half, Herro hit two free throws to give UK back the lead. Harper's attempt at a game-winning layup rimmed out on the next possession, and Immanuel Quickley grabbed the rebound to earn a spot at the line, where he hit 1 of 2 attempts.
