Auburn's coach had plenty of praise for the Commodores after leaving Nashville with an 80-68 win on Tuesday night.

Auburn men's basketball defeated Vanderbilt 80-68 on the road as the Tigers bounced back from their second loss of the season. After his team's win, head coach Bruce Pearl talked about senior guard Chad Baker-Mazara's health and how it impacted his role in the War Eagle victory.

Chad Baker-Mazara played 28 minutes in the win against Vanderbilt, but he went 0-6 from the floor for zero points. He did come off the bench in this one, and Auburn basketball head coach Bruce Pearl thinks that he needs more rest.
