Tonight at Neville Arena, the No. 12 Auburn Tigers defeated the No. 16 Alabama Crimson Tide 99-81.
After the game, what was Jaylin Williams, a forward for Auburn, saying?
Williams discussed the defensive play he witnessed in Alabama, which helped him to a career-high 26 points.
“I knew they (Alabama) were going to try to play smaller,” Williams stated. “I knew right away that I needed to be more aggressive and patient.
Williams spoke about Tre Donaldson’s growth and the extent of his influence.
Williams said, “Tre is a very patient guard.” “He won’t attempt to take on too much. He will attempt to move to the spot if he notices something, and if you try to play him too much, he will become more hostile. He constantly strives to ensure that everyone is in the proper positions and executing the appropriate plays. Little things are what really count.
Williams discussed how the game is physically demanding.
According to Williams, “it felt like every other SEC game.” “There were more foul calls and it slowed the game down.”
Auburn’s next game is on the road in Gainesville, Florida, on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. CT against the Gators. The Auburn Athletics app allows you to stream the Auburn Sports Network broadcast anywhere at any time, while the SEC Network broadcast is available for viewing.
