Bruce Pearl reacts to the best 15-game second start in the history of Auburn: “You don't play 15, you play 18”

AuburnThe unprecedented 14: 1 start to the SEC game has catapulted the Tiger head and shoulders over the rest of the field to the NCAA tournament in March.

Auburn is not satisfied with three games in the regular season with her record to this point. With each of these games against the opponents of the rankings, the historical start of the Tigers could fall apart, since they have not yet secured the regular SEC championship.

Pearl clapped back when he found out that this season caused the best start to the SEC game in the program history.

“Well, that's the best 15-game start? And is that for Auburn? OK. But they don't play 15. They play 18, ”said Pearl. “Comfort after the 18th game.”

Pearl's comments came after Auburn's 106-76 victory against Auburn Ole Miss At home on Wednesday evening.

Tiger's superstar Johni Broome scored 24 points and recorded nine rebounds during the matchup. Chad Baker-Mazara achieved 22 to 4 out of 5 shots beyond the bow. Miles KellyPresent Denver Jones And Chaney Johnson Everyone ended the game with 13 points per piece during the victory.

“They were locked up,” said Pearl about his team. “They realized that this was the second last home game in the Neville Arena this year. This was the second when our fans were able to see them up close and simply enjoy the quality of their game. I think that has created a little urgency. “

Auburn will only be the season finale against the season finale against the Neville Arena Alabama. While this matchup is eagerly awaited, there are still a few roadblocks before you align the crimson tide.

Next is a road trip for the Tigers Kentucky On Saturday, a team with which Bruce Pearl has a 6: 9 record since he became Auburn's head coach. However, he never hit the wildcats in the Rupp Arena. In fact, the last time was that Auburn defeated the wildcats in Lexington, 1988.

It remains to be seen whether they are able to conquer the 27-year-old dryming magic against the wildcats. Regardless of the result, Auburn will have their hands full on the street in Texas A&M the following Tuesday. While the Aggies lost three-in-sequence games into the weekend, the college station is not an easy place to play.

All of this leads to the regular season finale against Alamaba in the Neville Arena on March 8.
