Social media reacts to Auburn’s disappointing showing against Kentucky
There was plenty of buildup to Saturday’s game between No. 12 Auburn and No. 20 Kentucky. The game itself, however, did not live up to the hype.
Kentucky jumped out to an early lead and never looked back in its 70-59 win over Auburn on Saturday. Auburn shot just 31% from the field and allowed the Wildcats to score 23 additional points off of 11 turnovers.
As expected, fans were not pleased with the outcome of Saturday’s pivotal SEC contest. From officiating to Jaylin Williams’ injury to the result of the game itself, Auburn fans aired their frustrations over social media.
Here are the best social reactions to Auburn’s loss to Kentucky.

Not cool, Jon
I've said it before and I'll say it again: This rendition of Kentucky reminds me of the 2013-14 season.
Ultra talented roster that took some time to play consistent basketball.
We all remember where that team finished.

Nothing went right
Beating ourselves tonight. Plenty of wide open looks but just can’t buy a basket.
More importantly, hope Jaylin is ok…

Just not Auburn's night
Played terrible in all aspects at home with GameDay there. Couldn't buy a bucket. Lost our 2nd best player. Handed the conference title to our biggest rival on a silver platter. Absolutely terrible night.

Just not our night man.. outcome of this game is the least of my concerns now, just hope Jaylin is okay.

Can't win like that
why are we taking step back 3s in the corner when we can't by a bucket?

Because it always works
Ah, yes.
The ole’ “CMO-out, Berman-in” procedure.

A lot of questionable calls
Refs are bad in this Kentucky/ Auburn game.
Both sides. It’s just horrible.

Just was not our night
Kentucky is not doing anything special defensively. Auburn is just missing wide open shots. Not something we're accustomed to seeing in Neville Arena.

Coming from you, it means a ton
Auburn literally has the best fanbase on the entire planet. The atmosphere at every single one of their sporting events is off the charts. They really are an everything school.

Better than tents
Auburn could build a house with all these bricks
