The No. 12 Auburn Tigers take on the Florida Gators on the road tomorrow.

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

Donaldson talked about what it would mean to him to be a part of ending Auburn's losing streak in Gainesville.

"It'd mean the world," Donaldson said. "Growing up in Tallahassee, not big Florida fans obviously. It'll mean a lot for us to be able to go down there and as BP (Bruce Pearl) says make some history. I feel like our team would really enjoy that."

Donaldson talked about what led to his offensive success against Alabama.

"Just them (Alabama) trying to take him (Johni Broome) away," Donaldson said. "If you go back and look, a lot of my buckets were off ball screens."

Donaldson gets a lot of rebounds for a guard. He talked about why that happens.

"BP has made an emphasis on going down there to help the guys, especially this week with them (Florida) having two seven-footers," Donaldson said. "With us having to be so physical, they (Auburn's front-court) aren't going to be able to grab as many rebounds so the guards are going to have to come down there and clean it up.

Tipoff is set for 2:30 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.
