Saturday Down South has graded each aspect of today’s SEC Elite Eight matchup and it sounds like they think it all comes down to the pace.
If it is wild and crazy Auburn has the advantage and if it is a defensive grind the Cats will advance to Minneapolis.
The good news is that there will be an SEC team in the Final Four. The bad news is that one of these talented squads will lose.
We’ve seen what Kentucky has done defensively all tournament long, though, stopping Wofford’s best shooter and suffocating the Houston offense for long stretches Friday night.
If this game is in the 60s, the Wildcats will advance. If it turns into a shootout, the Tigers are heading to Minneapolis. Give me Kentucky’s defense and a healthy P.J. Washington to have a narrow edge here.
Prediction: Kentucky 68, Auburn 64
