Bruce Pearl is about to preview Ole Miss. Check in here for updates.


**********

- "You'd love to have a month to prepare for Kermit Davis instead of a day and a half." Mentions that they're really well coached.
- Mentioned that they've had as hard of a start in conference play as possible (have play UT, uat and @ Miss State)
- "Matthew Murrel is one of the best guards in the league."
- Proud of his team on the way they bounced back. Gave lots of props to The Jungle.
- Called Wendell "one of the best guards in the league that gets the least amount of attention."
- Praised Broome's consistency and was happy for Al on Saturday.
- Said that Auburn needs to stop fouling and pointed out that each team Auburn has played in SEC play has doubled them up in free throw attempts.
- Ole Miss is multiple defensively as it runs multiple versions of a zone (1-3-1 and 2-3).
- On Daeshun Ruffin: "We had him committed for about a day. When Kermit found out, it was over. We've been a place that's been good for smaller guards and he saw that for 24 hours."
- Called Ruffin dynamic and good for "our league."
- "They've got really good point guard play... they definitely have pieces."
- Still ranked: "We wanted to be able to say in 2022 that we were in the top 25 every week... the one thing the league can do is be unmerciful... it also provides you with opportunity." Mentioned that Auburn has gotten the opportunity to play a team like Arkansas that is top 15 and he is grateful for that.
- On Sharife: "All he does is worry about what he can control... everything that kid has been through since he's been to college - he was mistreated by the NCAA, he overcame that." Mentioned his draft stock wasn't what it was but he's taken advantage of his opportunities.
- Said that Rife is putting himself in position to get an opportunity and he's proud of him.
- On K.D.: "He's trying to be a great teammate." Mentioned that he's doing a lot of little things and is defending well. Compared him to Al Flanigan in that way.


That's all for BP.
