AUBURN, Ala. - Bruce Pearl emerged from Auburn Arena, his right arm waving, joining a couple hundred fans in a spirited "War Eagle" yell.

"I've just got one thing to say," Pearl exclaimed Tuesday before boarding a bus that would take the Tigers to Montgomery for their flight to San Diego. "We are two wins away from the Sweet 16! And we're going to do everything we possibly can to make sure you guys have got to go to Omaha, Nebraska."

That would the sight of next week's third round.
