We are set to speak with BP after Auburn's thrilling victory over Florida.

Please refresh for all updates.

- "The league is going to be a rock fight. I talked to the guys, that was one we had to get."

- "I'm very happy for Johni Broome. He has to act and feel like he's like the best player on the floor. He did that for 2 years (at Morehead State) and now he is translating it to the SEC level." Led Auburn with a double-double and with 4 assists.

- Johni and Dylan won that matchup.

- "Jaylin Williams, in my opinion, can be the best player on the floor. He didn't start the game that way."

- "I thought Chris Moore was so good. He did so many little things."

- "We are going to keep working on it. We had some shots inside that we needed to make."

- BP says he was emotional coaching against Todd Golden. "He's like a son ... I root for him. There was absolutely no joy in beating him today."

- Auburn made history tonight. They were never not in the top 25 during the entire year.

- "I think Johni responded. Keep in mind, against the National Defensive Player of the Year (Walker Kessler) in "Florida, he scored well ... I'm glad Johni took that personally."

- "Offensively, the offense has been better in the second half."

- Being +12 in rebounding: "It was huge. Inside shots. Inside rebounding ... I think Florida competed. Their backdoor stuff was tremendous."

- "We only made three 3's, but we beat them on the boards."

- On last 18 seconds: "Jaylin Williams pulls the chair, takes a charge, Castleton gets off balance, Chris Moore comes up with it. You've got to make plays."

- "Wendell is just a winner. Wendell is a tough kid." - on Green, who was second on the team in rebounding.

- "The atmosphere was great. It helped us. It was a tough ticket. Man, we had to tell some people no on some ticket requests. I thought our fans were into the game."

- On value of C-Mo: "He's an incredible teammate. He's an incredible worker. He's so unselfish. If I want to make a statement of what Auburn basketball looks like, I will keep promoting Chris Moore."
