Bruce Pearl’s Auburn team is the No. 1 seed in the SEC tournament, the league’s regular season co-champion, and ranked eighth in all of college basketball in the RPI.
Yet none of Bruce Pearl’s Auburn players were selected First Team All-SEC by the coaches of the conference. According to Pearl, it’s the first time the regular season champion did not have a First Team All-SEC player since 1956.
The First SEC Regular Season Champion to not have a player on the Coaches All SEC FIRST TEAM since it began in 1956 is The 2018 Auburn Tigers!
