Jones' Record Night Leads UK Past Auburn

Terrence Jones set a Kentucky freshman single-game scoring record with 35 points as the 13th-ranked Wildcats rolled by Auburn 78-54 on Tuesday night. Jones broke the previous record of 32 points - set by teammate Doron Lamb against Winthrop last month - behind a series of jumpers and layups as Kentucky (13-3, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) easily avoided its first losing streak under coach John Calipari. Calipari challenged the Wildcats to be tougher after getting pushed around in a loss to Georgia on Saturday.

The Wildcats built a 19-point lead before the game was 10 minutes old and cruised from there.[IMAGE1]
