re: Bruce Pearl at Auburn - in ten years, only once has he made it out of the opening weekend

ETA both teams are making the tournament nearly every year instead of just the 20 and 13 times in the previous century.

You’ve got this part a little twisted.

Auburn has made the tournament 13 times total, in their entire existence, including Bruce Pearl’s tenure.

Bama had made it 20 times before Bruce was hired. Auburn had made it 8.

Hope this helps.
