00:00Keyshawn Murphy obviously wasn't out there tonight.
00:02Do you have any update on him or anything more you can say about the situation?
00:06Yeah, I mean, Murph has decided not to play in these games, and I'm not sure why.
00:12But, listen, we love Murph and have a lot of love for everything he's done for us
00:18and his commitments to this program.
00:22So wish him well.
00:25Want him to still finish up academically.
00:27But I got nothing but love for Murph.
00:30You know, he came here and wanted to try and make history for Auburn.
00:33And, you know, he's just ultimately decided not to play.
00:36So I'm going to just pour into the guys that, you know, are here and, you know, want to hoop.
00:42Steve, what went into the decision to have Caden in the rotation for this game,
00:45considering obviously he hadn't played in a couple months for you guys?
00:48Yeah, I mean, against that zone, obviously, you know, you need guys that can knock down shots.
00:51And, you know, Blake hadn't really shot it great, you know, this year.
00:54And, you know, I wanted to give – Caden's been really good in practice
00:57and has stayed right and stayed ready.
00:59He's got all A's right now academically, and I wanted to, you know, reward that.
01:03You know, he's still obviously got a long way to go defensively.
01:05But, you know, he's been the best player on our scout team,
01:08and he's done a great job of playing all these great guards that we've been facing
01:12over these last few weeks.
01:14And I just wanted to give him an opportunity,
01:15and I thought he did a great job of taking advantage of it.
01:17So, obviously, there's going to be a step up in competition as we go through this tournament,
01:21and I'm excited to see how he does.
