The Kentucky team that's set to invade Auburn Arena looks very little like the juggernauts John Calipari took all the way to the national championship last season. A year after being all but unbeatable, Calipari's newest round of freshmen has been awfully vulnerable, but the name still carries plenty of weight.
For the first time all season, a sold-out crowd will pack Auburn Arena for Saturday's 8 p.m. tipoff against the defending national champions.
“It's just big for the fans,” Auburn guard Frankie Sullivan said. “They want to see us beat a team like Kentucky, who has players coming out every year, big-time pro prospects.”
