The Kentucky Wildcats and Auburn Tigers square off on Saturday afternoon for the first time in Rupp Arena, with fans, since 2020. Kentucky won that game to clinch the SEC regular reason by three whole games.
On Saturday, both squads come into the game at 19-9 on the season, and both falling well below their pre-season expectations.
Auburn won the SEC last season, including a win over Kentucky, but floundered down the stretch and into post-season play, dropping the quarterfinal game to Texas A&M and eventually losing in the Round of 32 to Miami.
