Kentucky vs Auburn basketball preview: Does UK have enough firepower?

Kentucky basketball has a tough matchup this weekend against Auburn basketball.

On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe previews Kentucky vs Auburn basketball. The Auburn Tigers are one of the best teams in the SEC and are coming off of one of the largest wins in program history. Does John Calipari's squad have what it takes to go on the road and beat the Tigers? Dawe dives into the matchup, breaking down Auburn's powerful frontcourt in Johni Broome and Jaylin Williams, and shares his thoughts on how UK can/needs to guard them. Speaking of guard, the Wildcats outmatch Auburn on paper - with Rob Dillingham, Antonio Reeves, and Reed Sheppard - but it doesn't necessarily mean the Tigers don't have steady play, especially on defense.

If Kentucky wins this game, it could change the momentum of the season. But it's a tough, tough ask.
