Auburn vs Kentucky Wildcats Prediction & Picks - NCAA Men
by Travis Pulver | in NCAA Men Picks
The No. 1 Auburn Tigers are getting tested in the final week of the regular season with a tough three-game gauntlet starting with the No. 17 Kentucky Wildcats at the Rupp Arena in Lexington, KY. The action for this SEC matchup between two of the best teams in the nation gets underway at 1 p.m. ET. Fans can find coverage via ABC and ESPN+.
Auburn enters this gamer with all the confidence a No. 1 team should have. They’ve won five in a row since losing their first conference loss of the season a few weeks ago (Feb. 8 vs. Florida). The streak includes a win over No. 2 Alabama in Tuscaloosa a couple of weeks ago. Their strongest game may have been their last, a 106-76 win over Ole Miss at home. As for Kentucky, the Wildcats have had a solid season, with seven wins over ranked teams, including five over top ten teams (No. 6 Duke, No. 7 Gonzaga, No. 6 Florida, and two over Tennessee). But they are coming off a win vs. Oklahoma that should not have been as challenging as it was (83-82), which was preceded by a second loss to Alabama.

Our Auburn vs Kentucky Wildcats Prediction
Kentucky is one of the top offensive teams in the nation (No. 3 in scoring), but so is Auburn (No. 5). However, where these two teams differ greatly is on the defensive end of the court; Auburn’s defense is ranked No. 76 in the country while Kentucky’s is ranked No. 304. It is reasonable to expect them to bring their ‘A’ game at home against the No. 1 team in the country. However, Auburn is a force to be reckoned with this season and has been playing great basketball, while Kentucky has just been playing ‘good’ basketball. It will be close at the break, but Auburn will pull away in the second half.
Our Auburn vs. Kentucky Pick: Auburn -4.5
