AUBURN, Ala. u2015 Bruce Pearl knows the big games. Alabama, because it's a rivalry. Kentucky, because it's the best program in the SEC. Tennessee, because it's the place he used to coach, and on this Saturday, a game to show a national television audience the state of Auburn basketball and the basketball program's fight against cancer. Ready or not, banged-up Auburn opens Southeastern Conference play against Tennessee at 1 p.m. Saturday in Auburn Arena, and it's important to Pearl because it's the conference opener, because he remembers his time with the Vols and because he can sell Auburn's AUTLIVE t-shirts designed to raise awareness for cancer prevention and detection.
