00:00I believe if I'm not mistaken, Mike, I saw this morning is going to practice in full day. Is that correct?
00:06Yeah, that's that is correct. And then we'll see him in the open practice to some degree on Friday.
00:12Today's practices are closed. There is a locker room availability for the individual teams, but not not a ton of media interaction beyond that.
00:21I think those last about 15 minutes, 20 minutes. And then, of course, we'll get access to the coaches as well.
00:27So we won't really see what you and I does today. They don't have to practice hard in the open practice, but we'll at least get a chance to see him move around and and how comfortable he is shooting the basketball, etc.
00:39I suspect he's going to be close to full health. I don't know about 100 percent, but he was pretty effective playing at less than 100 percent on multiple occasions this year.
00:50And certainly he's going to push everything. This guy's this guy's a winner. He's going to put everything he has into trying to win that game on Saturday.
00:58Monday night might be tougher. We'll see. But he's going to put it all on the line because there is no Monday without a Saturday victory.
01:05Yeah. Does it help that Auburn is tested by these teams that are all in the final four?
01:09I know, of course, they played the Gators. The Gators beat them to eighty one.
01:12I don't know if that will tell any story going into this game. But, you know, obviously they played Duke.
01:18They played Houston. They had luck against Houston and not so much against the others.
01:23Yeah, I think it helps them to have done that. I mean, everybody's a little different now than they were in December or November, which is when we accept with the exception of the Florida game, the Houston game and the Duke game were both in November to early December.
01:37So there is there is a lot of time since then and everybody's a little bit different.
01:42But you get an idea. OK, like Cooper Flagg's wealth of ability is not going to be a surprise to Auburn.
01:48They've seen it. They they know to be serious about it. And so from that standpoint, they kind of know what to expect.
01:55Now, if they get to play Houston on Monday night, which would be the two underdogs winning, that's where I think their game against Houston doesn't mean anything.
02:02Because Houston is so much more together defensively now than they were then.
02:07And since that's really their whole game is basically breaking your offense, that that that it that's a bit different of a game for the Tigers to play on Monday.
