Auburn fans didn't heed the warnings from the public-address announcer. After all, the win was just too big and too rare at Auburn Arena.

Auburn students stormed the court following Auburn's 75-70 victory against No. 14 Kentucky, the Tigers' first win against the program since 2000. It snapped an 18-game losing streak to the Wildcats, who had won 32 of the last 33 games in the series.

The SEC said it may comment on the impending fine Monday, but the structure shows Auburn could be due to pay as much as $100,000 to the conference. The SEC passed a resolution to increase fines in May 2015: $50,000 for first offense; $100,000 for second offense; $250,000 for the third offense.

Auburn athletics director Jay Jacobs told AL.com he will happily pay the fine.

"I supported the more expensive fine structure, like we all did, just to try to protect ourselves and the students and athletes," Jacobs said. "It's certainly a great win. The fine will not take anything from that."

Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said he soaked in the atmosphere following the victory, the first time students and fans have stormed the court at Auburn Arena. The arena opened in the fall of 2010.

"A great win tonight to catapult us into Tuesday night against our in-state rival. "It's going to be an electric atmosphere. I'm excited for the team. I'm just glad that no one got hurt. Our students are the best student fans in the nation. They're there early and in line. We didn't turn any students away."

The next step for Auburn? Improving upon the victory, the first against a ranked opponent since February 2012.

"What you want to get your program to is where the people storming the court are the ones beating you every once in a while," Jacobs said. "That's where we're headed (as a program)."

Kentucky coach John Calipari sent his bench players to the locker room as Cinmeon Bowers shot free throws with 1.2 seconds remaining in an effort to avoid the potentially dangerous situation. Jacobs applauded Calipari for his decision at the end of the game.

"Our fans were ecstatic and they're the ones who kept us in the game," Jacobs said. "It's a big win for all of Auburn."

Auburn fans stormed the field following its Kick Six victory against Alabama in the 2013 Iron Bowl. Auburn was only fined $5,000 at the time, but that came under the SEC's more lenient penalty structure.
