What Bruce Pearl has done this year with an undermanned basketball team is simply remarkable. With each passing game, he has the Tigers looking like an NCAA tournament team.
And on Saturday Auburn blew out the University of Connecticut; one of the nation’s most respected teams. Granted the (7-5) Huskies have struggled this season but they are still one of college basketball’s storied programs having won 18 league titles, made 33 NCAA appearances, being seeded No.1 five times. In addition the Huskies have won four national titles, the latest coming in 2014.
The Tigers wasted no time taking UConn to the wood shed, jumping on the Huskies from the start.
