People are talking about Coastal Carolina @Auburn Dec 6th. Going to be weird seeing Coach Ellis on the opposite bench if it turns out to be true.

Bump

Hoping someone can educate the masses. Moving forward, what does the team schedule look like as they approach the season?

Per the school's web site AU is playing all the teams, not just 2, so it must be a round robbin thing, LINK

It's a confusing set up but if stays the same as it has been we will only play 2 games in LV. The home games vs UWM and ULL are also a part of the tourney and are 2 of the 4 teams we will play.

If I'm not mistaken (can't look it up right now) everyone of those teams were tourney teams last year with the exception of Louisiana and Wisc-Milw

They were both in the tourney. Clemson (NIT), Oregon St, Texas Tech, and MTSU were not in the Tourney. MTSU would have been in if they did not lose to Tulsa in the C-USA Tourney title game.

Here is an article with some good quotes/stories from Coach Pearl at the Greater Birmingham Auburn Club's kick off party.

LINK

My favorite.

"We're at Kentucky. We had beaten them earlier in Knoxville. Everytime you're in Rupp it's 8 on 5. I got my five, they got their five, and three officials, 8 on 5. We're down 13 there's 30 seconds left. I call timeout. My players are curious what I'm going to say. There's no 14 point play. I look at my best defender and say ‘I want you to guard that official there.' He says ‘WHAT?' I said ‘Guard that official there! Not that official, not that official, not that official, but THAT official.' We break the huddle and he runs over to the official and is waving his arms. The official blows his whistle and comes over to me and says, ‘what's this about coach?' I said, ‘I learned to put my best defender on the guy who's hurt me the worst that night.' Technical foul, throws me out."

So the Director of Basketball Operations, Coach Todd Golden, recently left this on Instagram:

Wheels up after a great trip to Under Armour HQ. Excited about the future Auburn Hoops and #UA have together! ???? #AuburnTigers #WDE


Doesn't sound to me like an imminent break between AU basketball and Under Armour.

The current contract doesn't end until Aug 2016. Unlike Barbee, Pearl is going to give them an honest chance to prove their worth.
