The Kentucky Wildcats just went on the road to take on the Auburn Tigers in Neville Arena. Neville Arena is considered one of the best environments in all of college basketball, and the fans were ready for this game.

Throughout the game, the Auburn faithful were looking for an opportunity to blow the roof off the building and Kentucky just wouldn't let it happen.

The Wildcats had their best defensive performance of the season, holding a top-ten offensive Auburn team to just 59 points.

This massive win for Kentucky will go a long way when it comes to seeding in March and giving the Wildcats confidence as they play their remaining SEC games.

Let's take a look at the best photos from Kentucky's win over Auburn.

After his team's loss, Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl had this to say about Kentucky star Antonio Reeves, "Reeves has killed us every year," Pearl said. "He just killed us. Big guard, able to make shots."

Pearl also had this to say about Kentucky as a whole and how they played in the win, "Kentucky can guard, and they can turn it up when they want to," Pearl said. "They outplayed us tonight; they played really well. We knew their guards were excellent, and late in the game, when it came down to getting decent shots and keeping us at bay, they were able to do that."

This was a season-changing win for the Wildcats, who have now figured out how to play a little bit of defense. If this keeps up, Kentucky can do something special in March and, hopefully, April.
