We are speaking with Bruce Pearl.
*** One of our best efforts all year long was at Ole Miss. Didn't realize how good they played until Chris Beard spoke during the postgame.
*** Have a chance at more history with 4 games left and two games up in the SEC standings.
*** Ole Miss has played well on the road. Won at Alabama with one of the best wins in the nation this season. A lot on the line for both clubs.
*** On taking care of the ball: We are a good offensive rebounding team and you would rather get up a shot before turning the ball over. We turned the ball over four times in the first few minutes at Ole Miss. They are active in getting their hands on the ball. Our guys know what they are good at and they know what a quality shot is.
*** Ole Miss is No. 1 in turnover margin. Them and Texas A&M will turn you over.
*** On beating a team twice: "We take a lot from the first game. If we play as well as we did in Oxford we will win."
*** Brings up the fact again that Georgia came out with a 2-3 zone and could possibly see that from Ole Miss.
*** Needing to improve down the stretch and the factors going into it: "Continuing to understand the why. We talk about locking in."
*** Transition will be important in this game as they are really good in transition.
*** On shutting down guard play and keeping Pedulla down tomorrow: Mentions he got a lot more free throws than usual against Auburn. He made some tough shots. He was terrific. He's one of the most improved players this year.
*** BP says Matt Murrell has always been an Auburn killer.
*** Ole Miss does a great job attacking the basket and trying to draw fouls. Closing out against Ole Miss is very important.
*** Against some opponents, having two centers (Cardwell and Broome) is a major advantage. Dylan being able to guard 1 through 5 is also an advantage for us.
*** On Ole Miss switching a lot: It's hard to prepare for because you can't predict who they will switch on and off of certain players. It's easy when teams switches and you can predict their pattern.
*** On having decisive advantage down low: Dylan got a lot of offensive rebounds and Johni could get double-teamed.
*** On shooting three-pointers at home compared to on the road: Let's take good open three-pointers early. I think we have taken some tough early three-pointers early.
*** On Denver and Chaney being from the state of Alabama: Both of those guys didn't start at Auburn but they had the dream.
That's it for BP. Enjoy this beautiful Tuesday!
