The Auburn Tigers are 17-1 overall, 6-0 in the SEC and ranked No. 2 in the AP Top 25. The Kentucky Wildcats are 15-3 overall, 5-1 in the SEC and ranked No. 12. Bruce Pearl coaches the Tigers. John Calipari coaches the Wildcats. So there should be plenty of fireworks when the two teams hook up Saturday, Jan. 22, 2022, at Auburn. CBS has the 1 p.m. EST telecast. Lexington Herald-Leader sports columnist John Clay talked with Jay G. Tate, publisher of Auburnsports.com, about Auburn. And he spoke with Jerry Tipton of Kentucky.com about the Wildcats.
