What did Jaylin Williams have to say before Auburn's contest against Georgia?
The No. 13 Auburn Tigers take on the Georgia Bulldogs tomorrow at Neville Arena.
What did Auburn forward Jaylin Williams have to say before the game?
Williams talked about his time in Auburn coming to an end.
"For me, it hasn't really hit me as much," Williams said. "For me, it's like another game, then I'm gonna play here next week. It hasn't really hit me. I feel like Saturday, when the jump ball happens, it's gonna really hit. Towards the end of the game, with the clock winding down towards the wire, it's gonna really hit me. That's when I feel like everything's going to be more emotional with it being my last game here."
Williams talked about continuing to heal from his knee injury.
"Sometimes I feel more tired than other times," Williams said. "I don't know if that's just me being tired. Whenever I'm out with those guys -- I mean, Missouri played really, really hard. I don't know if it was just because I was fatigued, or if the environment wasn't where it's usually at during away games. The only time I really felt fatigued was when I came back from that Tennessee game. That was the only time I was like, 'I need to get subbed out.' I really didn't feel that any other games. I guess you could say I'm back to 100 percent in a way."
Williams talked about leaving Auburn as the winningest player in program history.
"Hopefully we keep winning in the tournament again," Williams said. "I know I said this a couple interviews ago, but I'm not trying to let anyone break that record anytime soon. Hopefully COVID doesn't come around again and give somebody another year. That'll be nice and help me out with that. It's amazing to have that with my last name on there, just for my family to be able to say their nephew or their cousin or their brother has that at a university that's so big in the SEC. With something we grew up watching, for me to be able to be the winningest player in Auburn history is amazing, knowing all the players that have come through this organization."
Tipoff is set for 5:30 p.m. CT. The television broadcast can be found on SEC Network and the Auburn Sports Network broadcast can be streamed anywhere on the Auburn Athletics app.
