BetMGM has Auburn as slight underdogs to Kentucky

Auburn looks to win at Rupp Arena against Kentucky for the first time since 1988 when the two teams meet up on Saturday.

Auburn hasn’t won in Rupp Arena since 1988 but this might be the Tigers best chance to break that streak.

Kentucky has struggled this season, currently sitting at 5-13 as the Wildcats just can’t get things going offensively. That doesn’t mean the talent isn’t there, though, as a slew of 5-star players fill the lineup for John Calipari.

The good people at BetMGM expect it to be a tight game as the oddsmakers have Auburn as 2.5-point underdogs to the host Wildcats. Auburn won the previous meeting this season with a 66-59 win in Auburn Arena.

Here are other odds for the rest of SEC action on Saturday:
