We're set to talk to BP after he sonned his former team:

  • "The Players, they've been through a lot this year, it's been a bit of a grind... this team has been through some read adversity but continue to get off the mat and compete and follow a scouting report... I'm so happy for the players."
  • "Happy for Wendell to bounce back, Jay Will has been such a rock... I hope it's not the last time we see him... really happy for Al. Hope they both come back."
  • "We finally guarded at the end of the game and Zep Jasper was a big part of that... we held them without a field goal for six minutes and that's why we won the game."
  • "To put 79 on Tennessee, man that's hard to do against a Rick Barnes-led team."
  • "Mike Burgomaster is the offensive coordinator of this team... there is no such thing as a defensive coordinator in basketball but there is at Auburn."
  • "Johni is a factor down there low... Wendell was terrific scoring. A great win."
  • "20 wins matters... we care about making history and so this team made history."
  • Bruce"One of the things I told our guys before the game was they should be confident... I don't think it's our confidence more so, I think it's joy."
  • BP out of context: "Old people know how to grind. Kids don't know how to grind."
  • Auburn cooking in transition: "Some of that came from out defense, turning our defense into offense. When you play against the No. 1 defense, you might want to think about scoring before they back."
  • "The only lesson for me is they didn't score in the final six minutes." Mentioned that their late-game struggles have been more so because of their defense.
  • On WGJ's bounceback: "I told him be aggressive and don't change, but he understands what I'm talking about on what effects winning... I'm glad he was able to recover."
  • On Auburn rebounding well to close: "I thought our guys hung in there with a physical team."
  • "It was an important win for us."
  • My internet crashed so I missed a bit... very sorry about that
  • On Zep's defense: "The combination of having Zep out there and putting him on Vescovi and having the confidence in WGJ to not get beat by Julian Phillips."
That's all for BP
