Outside of the one FF, Bruce only has three tournament wins in ten years. Someone in the media needs to grow a pair of balls and ask him why.


I’m going to take up for Pearl here. Auburn’s traditionally a hard place to have consistent level of basketball success.

Auburn has a total of 13 NCAA trips all time. Pearl has 5 of them and only two other coaches have made trips, Sonny Smith had 5 in 11 seasons and Cliff Elliis had 3 in 10.

I have zero problem with that if their fans agree that Auburn is traditionally not a good program.

But if we’re pretending they’re a basketball blue blood and a “basketball school,” by extension shouldn’t they demand more?

Can’t have it both ways.

Yeah, that's why the 2020 tournament getting cancelled hurt so much. It would've accounted for a non-insignificant percentage of our all-time appearances lol.

Also, it took Bruce a good 4-5 years to get us going. Our program was worse than a dumpster fire when he arrived. Do y'all remember Cinmeon Bowers at point?
