Pearl has only made it past the Sweet 16 twice in his career and both times it was with underdog teams.
In 2019 they were a 5 seed that tied for 4th in the conference. They upset Kansas and UNC on their way to the final 4.
In 2010 Bruce took a 6 seed Tennessee to the Elite 8 by upsetting Ohio St. That team finished 3rd in the east before the tourney.

Bruce needs to be an underdog. Every time he’s been in the top 2 in the conference he’s been knocked out in the round of 32 or 16.

Go to his coaching record.

Pearl had some amazing teams at UT that underwhelmed in March, I agree he’s at his best as an underdog.

His team this year may be as good as that 07-08 team with the Smith’s, Chism, Prince and Lofton, but they got bounced sweet sixteen.
