Chad Baker-Mazara again picked up the start and scored 13, while Chris Moore didn't see the court at all as a result of Williams' return.

Available at Tennessee Williams (knee) is available for Auburn's game Wednesday at Tennessee, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact After initially being considered out for multiple weeks, Williams did not need them. Fortunately for him and Auburn, he will have sat out only one game because of his knee injury suffered Saturday at Georgia. Williams will look to finish February on a high note after logging fewer than seven points and exactly zero rebounds twice across his last three games. Between them was an excellent performance during which he scored 23 against South Carolina on Valentine's Day.
