We are set to speak with BP as Auburn prepares to battle Georgia in Athens on Wednesday.
Please refresh for all updates. Thanks, and Happy New Year!
- The more BP watches Georgia, the more impressed he is with them. Mike (White) has done a really good job. They have an older team. A lot of transfers. Playing pretty well right now.
- They still don't know a lot about themselves because they haven't played a tougher schedule. But, as a result, they have built up some confidence. They are way better than they were last year.
- It's a challenge to win on the road. This one won't be easy.
- On Oquendo: He's playing great basketball right now. He will rise up and make plays late in close games. Physical and improved three-point shooter.
- On keeping team sharp during downtime: "Guys really only got one day off. Thursday they had individual workouts and lifted. Friday and Saturday they had some real physical practices. Worked on us (Auburn) on Friday and then Georgia on Saturday ... Kids got Saturday afternoon and Sunday off."
- On Mike White having success against him: "I think that the thing you look for is you can scout them and see what they do against others, but against us they will do something unique to us."
- "It's getting harder and harder to predict what people are going to do against us."
- On Westry: "First of all, he's handling it terrific. He's going to be a great player in this program ... He came back and wasn't who he was before his injury. At this point, you have to look at the guys that are able to be out there. Right now, he's just working to get back to 100 percent. I have no doubts about his future with this program."
- On UGA making 13 threes last game and what else they do well: "They are shooting it well at home. They don't foul. They do a good job of not sending you to the line a lot ... They've got pieces and they have a good inside-out attack."
- On Tre responding: "I think that Tre has done a good job ...especially when he was out of the rotation and when he got back into the rotation, he took advantage of that. He understood the situation... When Tre plays with a motor, he's really effective out there. There's a lot of responsibility for point guards. There are not a lot of freshman point guards playing 10 or more minutes in Power 5 basketball."
