The Auburn basketball program is under new leadership, and Tigers head coach Steven Pearl is already proving that he is up to the task at hand, even though his team suffered a loss in its first exhibition game of the season.
The No. 20 Auburn Tigers lost 95-97 to the Oklahoma State Cowboys in their first game of the year, and afterwards, Pearl had the perfect response to the loss.
"You can't overreact to one result. Obviously, we play the game to win the game and disappointed that we weren't able to come out and beat a good, but a shorthanded, Oklahoma State team," Pearl said.
