AUBURN, Ala. - Tyler Herro made two free throws with 24 seconds left and Immanuel Quickley added another to help No. 12 Kentucky survive a big rally from No. 12 Auburn, 82-80 on Saturday.

The Wildcats (14-3, 4-1 Southeastern Conference) rebounded after losing a 17-point second-half lead to finish off a showdown between two of the league's top teams.

Auburn (13-4, 2-2) took an 80-79 lead on Jared Harper's contested 3-pointer over Ashton Hagans with 32 seconds left. Herro grabbed the lead back from the line, then Harper held onto the ball for what he hoped would be a game-winner.

Auburn got hot and we had some stupid fouls. Hard to win on the road against good teams .

Good win.

This team may be starting to grow up. This is still a very inexperienced team so to go on the road and beat one of the most experienced and talented teams in Auburn with the crowd going crazy is huge. One of the more impressive wins in the Calipari era imo.

At least we didn't lose after blowing that 17 point lead.

At least we didn't lose after blowing that 17 point lead.

Pretty impressive for a team this inexperienced to be up 17 on the road at the 14th ranked team in the country. Auburn was always going to make a big run considering playing UK at home is their Super Bowl.
