• 0:00
  Welcome into the two-minute timeout
• 0:01
  sponsored by Bunkers of Auburn in
• 0:03
  downtown. Go check them out. Um great
• 0:05
  sports bar atmosphere, awesome food, uh
• 0:08
  50 dedicated parking spaces. So go check
• 0:10
  out Bunkers of Auburn downtown. You're
• 0:13
  just thinking about um basketball and
• 0:15
  the win over Kentucky over the weekend
• 0:17
  and really, you know, continuing to give
• 0:19
  herself a chance now to finish this
• 0:21
  season and thinking about Keshan
• 0:23
  Murphy's performance. me 25 points. And
• 0:26
  look, that guy's has has been really
• 0:28
  good lately for this team. And as he's
• 0:30
  gotten healthier this season, he has
• 0:32
  been ultra productive. When you look at
• 0:34
  him, I think I think he's got nine games
• 0:38
  in double figures um in SEC play. This
• 0:41
  season, he only got five games where
• 0:43
  he's where was he attempted more than 10
• 0:45
  shots. So, he's he's guy that doesn't
• 0:47
  get a ton of shots. When he does, he's
• 0:49
  usually, you know, making a lot of
• 0:51
  those. And so you look at this this
• 0:53
  Auburn team and you know we thought
• 0:55
  going into the year and yes Keshan Hall
• 0:57
  and Tahad Pedford are really important
• 0:59
  but you know Keshan Murphy is a guy that
• 1:02
  he's not Java Vroom he's a very
• 1:04
  different type of player and he's not
• 1:05
  going to be a guy that's going to score
• 1:06
  35 but he's also a guy right now that it
• 1:09
  feels like you can play the ball through
• 1:10
  more him through him more as you get
• 1:13
  down the stretch this season and look
• 1:15
  he's a guy that can pass. He's a former
• 1:17
  guard in high school from Ramsay and
• 1:18
  Birmingham and so he can handle the
• 1:20
  basketball. he can put it on the floor.
• 1:22
  And as we can see, look, he's 34% from
• 1:24
  three. He can shoot the basketball, too.
• 1:25
  So,
• 1:27
  it's not what this team we thought it
• 1:29
  was going to be coming into the year.
• 1:30
  But right now, Keshan Murphy may be as
• 1:32
  as good an option as you've got on this
• 1:34
  team offensively. And look, he can be a
• 1:36
  mismatch problem for teams. And so, I
• 1:38
  think you look down the stretch for this
• 1:39
  team. And hey, beginning tomorrow night
• 1:41
  at Oklahoma, it feels like he's got to
• 1:44
  have the ball in his hands a lot more
• 1:45
  for this Auburn team. And so, I think if
• 1:47
  he does that, good things are going to
• 1:48
  happen. So man, for one night, Khan
• 1:50
  Murphy was as good as it gets in in this
• 1:52
  league. And so kudos to him for his work
• 1:54
  and his performance. Remember, go check
• 1:55
  out Bunkers Revolver downtown.
