The No. 14 Auburn Tigers are set to face the Georgia Bulldogs on the road tomorrow.
Prior to the game, Auburn forward Dylan Cardwell expressed his gratitude regarding Jaylin Williams’ injury not being more severe.
“I was incredibly relieved and thankful,” Cardwell remarked. “Considering it’s his fifth year and he won’t have another chance to return, with a professional career ahead of him after this, I’m more concerned about his future than him playing for us.
I’m thankful it wasn’t a serious tear. It would have been devastating for him to return for his final year, give his all to this program, only for it to end like that. I felt a great sense of relief.”
Cardwell commented on the strengths of the Georgia team.
“They have a strong home record,” Cardwell noted. “Their home games have typically been won by margins of 8 to 10 points. They’ve faced tough opponents like Florida and Alabama at home.
Despite their (5-8) SEC record, they remain determined and hungry. It will be intriguing to observe their performance against us. Moreover, the longstanding rivalry between Auburn and Georgia adds an extra layer of excitement to the game.”
Cardwell discussed Auburn’s struggles with shooting during the game against Kentucky.
“It was frustrating,” Cardwell expressed. “It was frustrating to be involved in and witness that performance. It felt strange. It didn’t add up to me. Normally, we’re quite effective with our shooting. We had plenty of open shots, but for some reason, they weren’t going in.
I thought we were well-prepared offensively, and we had put in a good week of practice. Sometimes, the ball just doesn’t go in, and there’s little we can do about it. It was a disappointing loss, but we have to focus on the next game and move forward.”
The game is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. CT. Viewers can catch the television broadcast on SEC Network, while the Auburn Sports Network broadcast is available for streaming on the Auburn Athletics app, accessible from anywhere.
