Auburn men's basketball victories vs. Kentucky used to be a once-in-a-blue moon event. Under Bruce Pearl, they've become an annual occurrence. For the fourth consecutive season, the Tigers took down the Wildcats, beating Kentucky 66-59 Saturday at Auburn Arena to give Auburn a 5-4 series lead in the past nine meetings. "To beat Kentucky is historic," said Pearl, who is 4-1 vs. Kentucky at Auburn Arena. "You're judged by how you do against the best teams on your schedule and certainly Kentucky's going to always be as good as anybody on our schedule. It matters, and we want to make history. Our program has been one of the top five programs in the SEC over the last four years." Allen Flanigan led Auburn with 21 points and nine rebounds. Devan Cambridge scored 13 points and Sharife Cooper added 11 points and a game-high eight assists to give the Tigers back-to-back SEC wins.
