We are set to speak with BP after Auburn's victory against Colgate.

- The way we guarded, particularly in the second half, I think it took its toll. We wore them down.

- Jaylin Williams had COVID coming back from Cancun. He should be available next week.

- Yohan and Chance stepped up and played well.

- KD as just really really productive. It was great to see him shoot the ball like that.

- Mentions the overall game for Flanigan

- Have to take a different approach at the free throw line.

- Back at it Monday after two days off. Coaches will be out recruiting.

- "The fact we shot such a good percentage, we got good outside looks."

- "Physically, we were a superior team ... That is a NCAA Tournament team."

- Bruce mentions the team needs to get better finishing around the basket.

- Yohan was much more aggressive

- "He was fine. He took a hit in the head. He got his bell rung, but his bell is always run. I don't think you could tell the difference." - On KD and if there was any idea to keep him out after that knock at end of first half

- "I thought we were smart not to try and overpass. We had some good breaks, some good passes on breaks. Colgate isn't going to beat themselves."

- Pleased that 10 guys scored for Auburn. Mentions Lior getting into the rotation. It was good to have that depth with Jaylin out. "Lior was in there in a very crucial role in the first half and he played well."

- Auburn held Colgate to just 11 assists. They entered the game averaging 18 a game.

That's it for BP.
