After some struggles at Rupp Arena, No. 17 Kentucky was able to get right on the road in a big way. The Wildcats turned in its best performance of the season in a wire-to-wire road win over No. 13 Auburn on Saturday, 70-59, becoming the first road team to win in The Jungle this year. Kentucky is an impressive 4-2 on the road in SEC play heading into Wednesday’s spot as a road favorite against LSU.
A month ago, LSU was off to a strong start (3-1) in SEC play. Since then, however, the Tigers have lost six of their last eight and enter Wednesday’s matchup in 10th place in the SEC.
