After going 44-54 (16-38) over the first 3 seasons , Pearl's team finally broke out in 2018 to win the SEC. They then lost by 31 in the 2nd round of the NCAA Tournament to Clemson. The following year they were 13-6 (2-4) and unranked on January 26 and 18-9 (7-7) on February 23......they then got hot and went to a Final Four.

You'd think they'd know their own recent history and how it compares, but that'd be asking too much I guess.

You got that information on an Auburn site since it has been discussed for a week or two but you get a pass. We understand you had to go catch another rodent to run the spinning cage so you can generate electricity for the trailer.

It think that's a good indicator of just what kind of a job building a program at Auburn is. Hell, Pearl is still sub .500 in conference at AU.

2018 is where it started coming together, then we had two starters suspended and played thin. Then when Anfernee went down it was a miracle we made it to the round of 32 at all.

2019 is where what Bruce has built bore fruit when we got smoking hot to end the season.

2020 would have probably been at least a sweet 16 run before COVID canceled the postseason. We were the 2 seed in the SEC tournament and probably looking at a 4 seed.

2021 was a gap year.

2022 we're elite and everyone knows it.
