00:00John, our first game on Saturday is a matchup of two
00:03conference foes. It's the number one overall seed in
00:06Auburn, taking on the one seed in Florida, the Gators, a two
00:10and a half point favorite and a total at 159 and a half. Before
00:14we dive into the specifics of this game, let's start with the
00:17big injury status we all want to know. Jani Broome, of course,
00:21injuring that right elbow late in the second half in the Elite
00:25Eight matchup last weekend against Michigan State. Bruce
00:28Pearl telling media that Jani Broome is still a few days away
00:32from practicing. John, from what you are hearing there in San
00:35Antonio, what do you expect that status to be for Jani Broome
00:39come game time on Saturday night against Florida?
00:42Well, Ben, ironically enough, I was just texting with Bruce
00:46Pearl about 20 minutes ago, and he informed me that the hope is
00:49that Jani Broome will return to practice today. So that is
00:53obviously big news for Auburn as Auburn is trying to move forward
00:57and get to a step that it wasn't able to get to six years
01:01ago when it went to the Final Four for the first time in
01:03program history, and that's get to the national championship
01:05game. So according to Bruce Pearl, he has told me that the
01:08hope is that Jani Broome will return to practice today.
