00:00Auburn on the road tonight in Austin as a double digit favorite against Texas. As we look at Bruce

00:06Pearls Tigers, John, what is the best thing Auburn does? There's so many different people that can be

00:12the assassin. Do they have Jani Broome, who's obviously the favorite right now to be the

00:16national player of the year, without question. But Auburn's strength is in its numbers. Auburn's

00:21strength is in its ability to wear the opponent down over the course of a game. And there's also

00:28one thing, and I was talking to Auburn staff about this earlier in the week, that isn't really

00:33getting a lot of attention, and that's the positional size that Auburn has on the perimeter.

00:38Bruce Pearl has shifted Denver Jones, who started his career at Florida International, over to

00:43point guard. He's got great size at 6'4", and he now is alongside Miles Kelly and Chad Baker Mazzara

00:50up front. So Auburn has the requisites to be a lethal team in terms of its positional size

00:56on the perimeter. And it also, as Bruce Pearl always has had,

00:59a potent bench. So there's a lot of different ways to skin the cat if you're the Tigers.
