Because they're the best team. Coaching and players matter.

I mean there football team is in shambles but the BB program is lights out.

Well. You know they have separate coaching staffs right?
Pearl has been building while the last few FB staffs have been floundering

Our fans don't understand this. They think there is some hex over SC and we can't do better than the current standard.
You gotta push on to someone else if it doesnt work out

The football program has endless cash available and can’t fix their woes. The BB team gets it done.

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.

fricking hell football fans are ignorant. It's extremely hard to win a championship in basketball. It depends all on who you draw in the tourney and luck. There isn't a dominant basketball team this year like last year in Baylor. There's probably 10 or so teams that could win the natty this year.

I honestly thought Martin would've done a lot better than he did tho. 
Someone in this conference needs to hire skeletor for his last few good years.

Great talent evaluation by Pearl and transfer portal.

True. There are some ignorant cock basketball fans that don't understand we have the potential to be a great program. We have an elite arena, great fan base, great practice facility, great surrounding recruits, etc. It's all there. We just need a coach. (Like Sean Sutton).

Really good coach and really good players?

Specific to this year.
We had a great, athletic roster but needed some help.
Both Kessler and KD were close to picking Auburn out of high school and losing two draft picks (Cooper and Thor) last year opened up the door for them to come to Auburn.
Jabari has said Pearl did a great job of selling how he’d be used at Auburn to prepare for the NBA.
The two mid-major guards are what sets Bruce and his staff apart. Green and Jasper are a result of great evaluation and understanding the system needs.

It seems there is a system in place and you guys recruit Not just good players but players that fit the system.

They are definitely more patient with basketball coaches. Pearls first 3 years there were nothing special. Good for them for letting him get everything in place.
