Over the last five years, Bruce Pearl has turned Auburn into being one of the best basketball programmes in the SEC. It is an impressive achievement given that Auburn has historically been a school focused on gridiron success. The steady growth of Pearl’s programme stagnated in the 2020-21 season.
For the 2021-22 season, Auburn added Jabari Smith Jr to their roster. Smith Jr is the son of a former NBA player and played high school basketball in Georgia. His addition helped to lead Auburn back to the top of the SEC and into the NCAA Tournament.
