Kentucky at Auburn Predictions/Updates

[16thBBall Fan]

A big one for the Cats this Saturday as the #12 Wildcats (15-3 and 5-1) travel to Auburn to take on the #2 Tigers (17-1 and 6-0). The game is scheduled for Saturday at 1:00pm on CBS. This is a big game for the Cats. The Cats coming off a tough road win vs. the Aggies and the Tigers coming off a thumping of Georgia at home. Go Cats!!

Have to play better than they did against A&M, that’s a certainty.

Be nice to start off a big sports day on Saturday with a win.

Another test for the Cats but I got them winning with in the 4-7 range. Toppin will be a major key to in this game.

I was thinking Auburn by 8.  This looks about right.

Agreed.  Worst case scenario, Saturdays sports outcomes result in a terrible hangover on Sunday.

Question.  I think most folks felt that losing Wheeler against LSU really cost Kentucky the game.  Had they won that game, UK would be sitting at a 9 game winning streak.  Would folks still pick Auburn if UK had won 9 straight going into this game?

I would.  Auburn's environment will be off the charts Saturday.  Will be a very challenging test.

Auburn 78-74.

Things will have to go right for the Cats to get the win.  Need some 3's to fall, and no serious foul trouble for TyTy or Oscar.  Go Cats!

Standing Room Only tickets going for close to three bills. It's going to be wild in there tomorrow. Cats need a solid first 5 minutes in this game or it could get away from them in a bad way.

I think Kentucky fans need to prepare for the reality they are highly likely to lose. Auburn is very good, they are at home, and that arena will be stupid high for this game.

While the environment will be nuts, I really think this UK team is playing at an elite level.  Plus Bruce Pearl as an in game coach in tight games I have never been sold on.  His teams tend to lack discipline.

I think the Cats get this one.  This will propel them even further.  By years end, barring injuries, etc. I fully expect them to be a one seed.

Their arena is only about 10 years old but it’s small.  It seats not much more than Memorial Coliseum. But the way the seating is arranged the fans are all close to the court, so it is going to be LOUD and crazy in that place today!!
