JUST IN: After win over Alabama, Auburn’s star sent a message to the alabama tides

Jaylin Williams, a senior at Auburn in his fifth year, wanted the game against Alabama on Wednesday night to be something he could tell his children about with pride in the future.

Before Tuesday’s rematch between Alabama and Auburn, Williams said of the Crimson Tide, “In, like, 20 years, you can say, ‘I beat them my last year.'” “Someday, I would love to tell my kids that.”

For Williams, who had lost his previous three games versus Alabama going into Wednesday night’s game, a victory against “that team up north” was all that was desired. Anything more was extra, and that was the only story Williams hoped to be able to tell in 20 years.

Additionally, the extras kept showing up against the Crimson Tide on Wednesday night, contributing to Williams’ future tale. With so many alternatives available to him, Williams will need to decide where to start when time finally arrives.

Williams has the option to begin his story before tipoff, when he was honoured in front of a boisterous home crowd for reaching 1,000 career points. Back in December, Williams recorded his 1,000th career point in a 20-point performance against Alabama State.

Why didn’t Auburn acknowledge him until February 7th? Who knows? However, let’s just state for the purposes of argumentation that it was a necessary addition to his tale.

However, Williams’ story might begin just before halftime of Wednesday night’s game, with Auburn leading 53-41 with just over 33 seconds remaining in the first half, if he chose not to start there. Following a miss by Alabama, Tre Donaldson, a sophomore for Auburn, grabbed the rebound and swiftly passed the ball to Williams, who scored a windmill dunk to increase Auburn’s lead to 14.
