Kentucky’s rough week ends in Auburn heartbreak as Pope vents on officiating
Kentucky fell 75-74 to Auburn, suffering a third straight loss as Otega Oweh poured in a career-high 29 points. A late controversial foul on Collin Chandler with 14 seconds left helped Auburn seal the win, while Kentucky’s frontcourt watched a decisive sequence. Mark Pope’s postgame hallway rant criticizing officiating drew headlines, adding to a tense week for UK as four regular-season games remain and an at-large bid for the NCAA Tournament hangs in the balance.
