The No. 13 Auburn Tigers take on the Vanderbilt Commodores at Memorial Gymnasium in Nashville tomorrow.

What did Auburn guard Tre Donaldson have to say ahead of the game?

Donaldson is a part of Auburn's second unit off the bench that has been excellent for the Tigers so far this season. He talked about what the group has been doing well.

"Just being ourselves," Donaldson said. "Me, KD (Johnson), Chad (Baker-Mazara), we're the guys who are making plays and stealing the ball. That's just our personalities. We're guys who like to fly around and have fun."

Texas A&M head coach Buzz Williams called Donaldson one of the most improved freshman-to-sophomore players in the country. Donaldson discussed the improvements he has made.

"I give all the glory to God, but I just worked," Donaldson said. "I'm trying to be a kid from Tallahassee that fulfills his dream of playing in the NBA."

Donaldson mentioned how head coach Bruce Pearl has emphasized the importance of staying humble while receiving a lot of attention in the polls.

"Not too high, not too low," Donaldson said. "Just understanding that we're a good team but we have a long way to go."

Tipoff is set for 8 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.
