UK committed a season-high 18 turn- overs, which turned into 21 Auburn points. The Cats lead 4-3 in the early stages, before the Tigers would maintain the advantage the rest of the way. The halftime score favored Auburn, 49- 34. A 10-5 spurt from the visitors to open the second half put them firmly in control. The Wildcats would get no closer than 13 points the rest of the way. Some additional notes from the game: • The win was just the third ever for Au- burn in Rupp Arena • Kentucky is now 8-17 all-time against No. 1 ranked teams • Carr and Brea became just the sec- ond UK duo ever to each score 20+ points against the AP No. 1 ranked team. They join Jamal Mashburn and Sean Woods, who achieved the feat vs. Duke in 1992 • The Wildcats won rebounding 38-23. The +15 margin was the best for Kentucky against an AP Poll No. 1 team since facing Duke in 2001 • UK's 17 3-point attempts were a sea- son-low • Amari Williams had 13 points, 14 re- bounds and seven blocks, the only Wildcat with a 13/14/7 line since at least the 1983- 84 season • Koby Brea went 4-7 from 3-point range, his fourth consecutive home game making at least three triples • Andrew Carr had a season-high 20 points Know Your Opponent LSU LSU comes to Lexington at 14-15 overall and 3-13 in SEC play. The Tigers reeled off back-to-back wins over Oklahoma and South Carolina in mid February but have since dropped their last three contests. Senior Cam Carter, a Kansas State transfer, is the player to watch for LSU. He is averaging a team-high 16.9 points per game and leads the squad with 76 assists. He is also shooting .396 from 3-point range and has hit a team-best 72 3s. Jaxson Robinson to Miss the Remainder of the Season UK's second-leading scorer, Jaxson Rob- inson, has been lost for the remainder of the season, head coach Mark Pope announced following the loss to Auburn. Robinson will undergo wrist surgery on March 5. He is expected to make a full recovery, although the recovery time is predicted to be a three- month process. Robinson was averaging 13.0 points per game. He was tallying 14.4 points per game and shooting 45.7% from the 3-point line against league foes.
