Kentucky Cruises Past Auburn 91-67, Advances to SECT Finals
Willie Cauley-Stein scored 18 points and Andrew Harrison added 15 for No. 1 Kentucky, which routed depleted Auburn 91-67 Saturday to reach the Southeastern Conference Tournament final and run its record to 33-0. The Wildcats had their way against a short-handed opponent. Forward Jordon Granger was suspended for fighting in Friday's semifinal win over LSU, and just before tipoff Auburn announced the suspension of forward Cinmeon Bowers for a potential rules violation. Their presence likely wouldn't have mattered against Kentucky, which clicked in all areas and will play for the title Sunday against the Arkansas-Georgia winner. The Wildcats shot 56 percent and outrebounded the Tigers 39-25 for the tournament's most lopsided victory.
