Our fans don't understand this. They think there is some hex over SC and we can't do better than the current standard.

We were really, really lucky though. Pearl was a huge risk and even though he had success at Tennessee, I don’t think anyone really believed he could fully transform the Auburn program. Coinciding with our new arena helped, but the majority of average to low tier basketball programs will not luck into the situation we’re in no matter what they do.
