Auburn vs. Kentucky Men: How to watch, TV channel, streaming, start time, predicted lineups and stats

The No. 1 Auburn Tigers (26-2, 14-1 SEC) face a difficult late-season test in conference play when visiting the No. 17 Kentucky Wildcats (19-9, 8-7 SEC) on Saturday afternoon.

Tigers star forward Johni Broome has overtaken Duke forward Cooper Flagg as the Wooden Award favorite, and Broome will look to finish the season on a high note, especially as his team holds a two-game lead in the SEC with three games remaining.

Kentucky, on the other hand, will look to cause some chaos at the top of the conference standings. The Wildcats have not fared as well as the Tigers in arguably the strongest conference in Men's College Basketball history, but a win can see them rise up the standings.
