AUBURN, Ala., Jan. 11 (UPI) -- Marquis Teague put Kentucky in front for good with 8:03 to play Wednesday and the No. 2 Wildcats pulled away late for a 68-53 win over Auburn.

The Tigers took a two-point lead with 10:52 remaining on a pair of free throws by Rob Chubb, but Kentucky outscored Auburn 23-6 the rest of the way.
