It may have been the ugliest win of the Bruce Pearl era, but Coach Pearl and the Auburn Tigers will take an ugly win any day over an ugly loss.
Auburn fans were on Twitter, likening Wednesday night’s game to last season’s Boston College match and rightfully so. Auburn was sloppy yet again, mostly due to having to press too hard to overcome sketchy officiating. Horace Spencer was given a flagrant two and escorted off the court, making it the second straight game that Auburn has had a player ejected. The foul was intentional, make no mistake. But it was probably a reach for it to be flagrant and certainly out of bounds for a flagrant two.
