After Georgia upsets the 13th-ranked Tigers, 65-55, in Stegeman Coliseum on Wednesday night, Auburn men’s basketball head coach Bruce Pearl fields questions about the game and discusses the loss to the Bulldogs.
Coach Pearl’s opening statement:
“It’s hard to make history. This is a great rivalry. This game matters more to us because it’s Georgia. It matters more to our fans… I thought Georgia played well. I thought [Georgia Head Coach] Tom [Crean] had them prepared. I thought they had great balance. I thought they had a great defensive game plan. If you look at our numbers, they held us to 31 percent shooting and did a good job of not fouling us.
