Bruce Pearl's second season as the head coach of the Auburn Tigers begins tonight when the UAB Blazers come to town.
UAB is an NCAA Tournament team from last season. Bruce Pearl has shown he's not afraid to test his team against quality opponents in the non-conference season. He did is last season, he's already started it this season.
UAB's starters from last year's team are all back. Auburn's starters? Well, there's Cinmeon Bowers and Jordon Granger. Those are the only two contributors from last season that are expected to start for the Tigers.
UAB returns the majority of the production that got them to the tournament in terms of starters and subs, while Auburn has to replace the leading scorers from the 2014/15 squad.
