Tomorrow at Neville Arena, the No. 11 Auburn Tigers will play the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
Before the game, what was said by Bruce Pearl, the head coach of Auburn?
Pearl began by discussing how important this game is for Jaylin Williams, an Auburn forward.
“Tomorrow’s game will be senior forward Jaylin Williams’ 135 career game,” Pearl stated. “With all due respect, I say that he will be breaking the school record that was previously held by the legendary Frankie Sullivan.
When I originally tried to get in here, Frankie was a terrific player and a tremendous member of my staff for several years. this matter began.” Pearl talked on how difficult this game may be.
“Mississippi State is the third-toughest team to come to Neville Arena this year with Alabama and Kentucky being the two toughest opponents we’ve had based on the NET rankings and Mississippi State is a NET 31, just one slot out of Quad 1,” Pearl stated.
We will therefore have our work cut out for us.
I would have predicted that we would defeat Mississippi State if you had told me we would travel there and manage to limit Tolu Smith to only nine points and eight rebounds.Pearl provided a health update on Williams.
Jaylin was in good spirits. We wouldn’t have played him if he wasn’t 100 %,” Pearl remarked. “Perhaps played five more minutes than we anticipated.
He has experience in a challenging setting and handled it well; he recovered well yesterday and had no problems.” The cutoff time is 3 p.m. CT.
