McMahon previews the Tigers road trip to No. 16 Auburn.
- Studied Auburn's film for days and said he can't find any weaknesses. They're one of the best overall teams in the country on both sides of the ball.
- Wants his players to embrace the crowd. Auburn's arena is rowdy, so he doesn't want them to get overwhelmed.
- They've gone against a lot of guard-centric teams recently, but Auburn's top scorers are forwards. They need to find ways to limit their bigs.
- Damion Collins and Mwani Wilkinson are both healthy and available for Saturday's game.
- Says the deal with getting Jalen Cook back was very chaotic. They came out of shoot around and heard about the restraining order and they were very confused on whether he could play that night, but they held off and let him prepare for the Texas game.
- His favorite thing about Mike Williams is that he's super coachable and wants to win. He's improved everyday and has been willing to take a backseat to Jalen Cook when he returned.
- Thinks that having a lot of time off during christmas break allowed them to get better. They had a lot to fix, but he said the players put their heads down and went to work and you've seen some of the improvements.
- Thinks Auburn plays the game the right way. They share the ball and don't worry about individual stats, so it makes them really hard to guard.
- Said they need to worry about what Auburn is going to do, but their main focus is what they can do to slow down Auburn's high powered offense.
- Carlos Stewart has been out of practice with knee soreness. No structural issue, but he likely won't play tomorrow.
- Says the rotation has become clearer over the last month. What we're seeing now will likely be their rotation for the rest of the year.
- Will Baker has had a slow start to SEC play statistically, but he thinks Baker has been doing the intangibles well. He's setting great screens and doing the little things right.
