2 MInute Timeout: Tigers still alive for NCAA Tournament berth · The Auburn Undercover Podcast

• 0:00
  Well, it was uh it was what what's
• 0:02
  expected, but Auburn got a big win over
• 0:04
  LSU. And and look, there's they're still
• 0:06
  alive. I think it takes a win in
• 0:08
  Tuscaloosa on Saturday for Auburn to to
• 0:10
  get um you know, an atlarge bid into the
• 0:14
  NCA tournament. I think that would do
• 0:15
  it. That would be some pretty quality
• 0:17
  wins for this team. Um and look, this
• 0:20
  team can do that. They've shown they won
• 0:22
  in Gainesville. Uh they beat Arkansas at
• 0:24
  home. Uh they have played good
• 0:25
  basketball.
• 0:27
  Um, look, Alabama's I think is a
• 0:28
  favorable matchup for Auburn because
• 0:30
  they're not a big physical team inside
• 0:32
  and they're um, you know, the team that
• 0:35
  wants to play up tempo and I think this
• 0:36
  Auburn team can do that, too. Um, but I
• 0:39
  think there's a key I think there's a
• 0:40
  key to to Auburn doing that. Obviously,
• 0:43
  some of it's going to be defensively
• 0:46
  when you look at Auburn, can you play
• 0:47
  defense? Can you defend the perimeter
• 0:49
  and keep Alabama from making a bunch of
• 0:50
  threes? The other thing is, can you
• 0:53
  share the basketball? We saw it against
• 0:55
  LSU. the Auburn. Look, they had 15
• 0:57
  assists. Um, only nine turnovers. You
• 1:01
  look at at how you how you win and this
• 1:04
  team has been at its best when it's
• 1:06
  shared the basketball. Uh, Todd Pedford
• 1:09
  had a really good night, scored a bunch
• 1:10
  of points, but I think the key was six
• 1:12
  assists for him. Keshan Murphy had some,
• 1:14
  Keshan Hall had some. You look, look,
• 1:16
  they shared the basketball, moved the
• 1:18
  basketball, got some open looks, and
• 1:20
  knocked them down. And, um, that's the
• 1:22
  key. that's that's going to be what's
• 1:24
  needed in Tuscaloosa on Saturday. But,
• 1:26
  um, look, this team has shown they can
• 1:28
  win games like this. Can you build on
• 1:31
  the LSU win and go play, you know, your
• 1:33
  best basketball? Cuz that's what it's
• 1:35
  going to take. It took that in games.
• 1:36
  Well, that's what it's going to take in
• 1:37
  Tuscaloosa um to to get there. Eight and
• 1:41
  10 with quality wins that you've had is
• 1:43
  probably going to be enough, but I think
• 1:44
  it's going to take that on Saturday uh
• 1:46
  to get there. So, see if Auburn team has
• 1:48
  enough to get it done. Go check out our
• 1:50
  folks downtown Bunkers of Auburn. Uh,
• 1:52
  great atmosphere, awesome food.
