Kentucky vs. Auburn CBB Prediction:
Both teams look for consecutive victories on Saturday.
Take the over. Kentucky was better defensively in their win against Ole Miss, however the Rebels missed some fairly open looks, Auburn will not. Both of these teams love to push the pace and I expect a lot of possessions and fouls for each team. As long as UK keeps this game close, I think we see a lot of points on Saturday from Neville Arena.
