Pearl is one of ten coaches that made the semifinal list on candidates for the prestigious award.
Pearl’s Tigers have been the story of college basketball after being picked to finish ninth in the SEC by the media and our now one victory away from clinching the regular season title.
The Tigers are currently 24-4 on the season and will likely add more to their win total. This team’s 24 wins is good for tying for second most for an Auburn basketball team in program history.
Auburn cracked into the top 25 this year for the first time since 2003 by placing in the AP Top 25 Poll in early January.
