Kentucky faces Auburn on Saturday, January 16th at Auburn Arena for an NCAA basketball SEC matchup. 

Kentucky is coming off an embarrassing performance at home against Alabama in an 85-65 loss at Rupp Arena. Kentucky and Alabama were tied at 17-17 in that game, and then everything came crashing down for the Wildcats. Kentucky is now 4-7 and has its first conference loss of the season (3-1). Kentucky’s leading scorer so far this season has been G Brandon Boston Jr., who has scored 12.1 points per game for the Wildcats. Kentucky as a team has scored 68.2 points per game and has shot the ball at a 42.0% clip from the field. Kentucky has also allowed 68.7 points per game to its opponents as well. 

Auburn is coming off a 95-77 win over Georgia on the road in its last game on January 13th. Auburn snapped its four-game losing streak with the win over Georgia, its first conference win of the season. Auburn is 7-6 overall this season and 1-4 in SEC play. Auburn’s leading scorer so far this season has been G Allen Flanigan, who has scored 13.8 points per game for the Tigers. Auburn as a team has scored 77.2 points per game and has shot the ball at a 45.6% clip from the field. Auburn has also allowed 73.9 points per game to its opponents as well. 

Kentucky opens as a 1-point favorite and the total is set at 142. I like Kentucky to bounce back from a bad loss and defeat this mediocre Auburn team on the road. Kentucky's talent has not translated into wins just yet, but I do believe this is a spot where the Wildcats grab a road victory. Kentucky has beaten far better teams in Mississippi State and Florida on the road already, so I do not think this game will be too difficult for the Wildcats. 

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
