2 Minute Timeout: Mississippi State a huge game for Auburn hoops · The Auburn Undercover Podcast

• 0:00
  There's not really many ways to put it,
• 0:03
  but this is about as close to a must-win
• 0:06
  game as you can have uh when Auburn, you
• 0:09
  know, takes on Mississippi State this
• 0:10
  weekend in Starville. Um Tigers five and
• 0:14
  seven in league play. You got six games
• 0:16
  left.
• 0:17
  You you got to feel like that you
• 0:19
  probably need to get to to eight minimum
• 0:24
  to to be an NCA tournament team. I just
• 0:25
  don't think that this 7-Eleven is going
• 0:27
  to do it. So, I think you got to have at
• 0:29
  least three. And you think about it,
• 0:31
  you've got Kentucky at home on Saturday,
• 0:33
  road trips to Oklahoma and Alabama still
• 0:36
  ahead. Um, that makes this game against
• 0:38
  Mississippi State a must-win in my
• 0:40
  opinion. And I don't I don't normally
• 0:41
  say those things, but I feel like that's
• 0:43
  what this is. So, for this Auburn team,
• 0:45
  can you find a a way to go on the road
• 0:47
  and do something? I think it starts
• 0:49
  with, you know, Keshan Hall. What What's
• 0:51
  that status look like?
• 0:54
  Can this group find a way to to get some
• 0:57
  synergy over this last part of the
• 1:00
  season? They've had it at times this
• 1:01
  year when they when they have, they've
• 1:02
  been pretty good. Um, but look, there
• 1:05
  was very little chance of them winning
• 1:07
  at Arkansas without Keshan Hall over the
• 1:09
  weekend and Todd Pedford, Keshan Murphy
• 1:12
  played really well. But look, there's
• 1:14
  look, Todd Pedford, I think, has four
• 1:15
  20point games in SEC play and Auburn is
• 1:18
  0 and4 in those games. They need him to
• 1:20
  score, but they don't need him to be the
• 1:22
  ultimate scoreer for this team. And
• 1:23
  without Keshan Hall, he he had to step
• 1:25
  up and do those things. So, uh, what
• 1:28
  what can this team do? I think he can
• 1:30
  continue to to get the ball to Keshan
• 1:32
  Murphy more. He's been really good um
• 1:34
  these last few weeks as he continued to
• 1:36
  get healthy. So, play through them. Play
• 1:38
  through get Philip Yoic and and
• 1:40
  Sebastian Williams out as more touches
• 1:42
  and play from inside out a little bit.
• 1:44
  See if that's the key. Um, but yeah, big
• 1:47
  game, must-win game at Mississippi State
• 1:49
  on Tuesday night. Go check out Bunkers
• 1:51
  Auburn downtown. Tell them we sent you.
• 1:53
  Great menu, 50 parking places, uh, great
• 1:55
  atmosphere. Go check out Bunkers of
• 1:57
  Auburn. Tell him I sent you.
