Great read on this valiant...short in height....short in depth...short in elite talent....but TALL in heart and effort Auburn
basketball team...from the best sports writer in Alabama, Kevin Scarbinksy.
And he's right....if Kentucky beats this Auburn team by 35...even 40 points today it won't matter....people will remember
this team for three upset wins in just 48 hours of real time...and playing their hearts out after losing 19 games during the regular season.
Bruce Pearl will likely end today with his first ever losing season as a basketball coach....with a team losing 20 games during the season. He's never had a team come close to losing 20 games in a season. But this team will remain in his heart the rest of his life.
I've watched Auburn (and SEC) basketball since 1959.....way back when Joel Eaves coached Auburn basketball....I'll never forget this team and this tournament, either. It's why basketball is such a special game to me.
