On March 8th, 2014, Auburn University hired Bruce Pearl, the long-time and successful head basketball coach of the Tennessee Volunteers. Before Pearl was even introduced to the media as the Tigers' new men's basketball coach, people everywhere were predicting the revival of the Auburn basketball program, which had been one of the worst major conference programs in the country for over a decade running. The excitement around Auburn basketball has reached new heights, especially after this past Saturday, when the Tigers picked up the biggest win of the Pearl era, a 75-70 victory over the SEC basketball kingpins, the Kentucky Wildcats.
