**"Dayton took it to us last year. We were not quite ready to play against a team like that last year but we needed to play that game, if that makes sense. The level of intensity they played with, we were not at that level. Hopefully this year, with more experience and a few more bodies, we will be closer.
***"Brandon Austin (knee) will be a game-time decision."
***(Asked a question about whether Bruce Pearl can change the culture at Auburn): "We've already done it. When we walk in the door, my background speaks for itself."
***might be starting lineup changes. "I liked Bola starting the second half. We had a problem rebounding. You might see different starting lineups for the first five games. Sometimes, our best defensive team is our best offensive team because they can create things. They play the right way."
