Kentucky fell to Auburn 75-74 on a last-second basket, marking the program's first three-game losing streak under head coach Mark Pope. The Wildcats' reserves managed only eight points, a stark contrast to Auburn's bench output of 14. Despite Pope's desire to rest starters Otega Oweh and Denzel Aberdeen, the lack of production from the bench proved costly as the Tigers snapped a five-game losing streak of their own.
