The Kentucky Wildcats finally get a win, breaking the four game snide, against Auburn, 82-80.
Kentucky finally put together a complete game, with everyone playing their best ball since the Florida game. BJ Boston looked like who we thought he would be coming into the season, Mintz hit a clutch shot to put the Wildcats up three with 28 seconds remaining, and Isaiah Jackson looked like a re-incarnation of Anthony Davis down low.
This was by-far Kentucky’s best offensive game of the year, despite the 14 threes hit last Tuesday against Arkansas. There seemed to be a sense of urgency and cohesiveness to the offense today, which was a welcomed change.
Hopefully this win kicks off a streak for Kentucky, but as we’ve come to know, you never really know which Kentucky team will show up on any given day. But, for now, enjoy this win as Kentucky avoids a five-game losing streak.

Prediction: John Calipari will credit Boston's defense for getting him going offensively. He was aggressive and got a ton of early steals, paving the way to play aggressively on offense.

I must confess that I had zero inkling that Davion Mintz would be the nastiest dunker on Kentucky's roster. But he is.

Calipari says if you want to hate on somebody, hate on him. “I’m the worst ever. I agree. Can we move on now?”

Reiterates yesterday's theme, that he respects the hell out of his team for never laying down in this miserable season.
Brandon Boston Jr. now shooting 29.4% from three.
— Ben Roberts (@BenRobertsHL) February 13, 2021
He was shooting 20.0% just 2 games ago.
Boston is 9 of 13 from three in his last 2 games.
He was 11 of 55 from three in his first 17 games.
