The Wildcats also have an edge in field goal percentage (47.8 to 45.3) and free throw percentage (74.3 to 70.8).Kentucky will benefit from having forward P.J. Washington back in the lineup.

On the other bench, Auburn will be without sophomore forward Chuma Okeke, who tore his ACL against North Carolina in the Sweet 16.But just because the Wildcats have dominated the Tigers doesn't mean they'll cover the Kentucky vs. Auburn spread on Saturday in the 2019 Elite Eight.
