Bruce Pearl on win at Alabama: ‘The balance of our team was really significant’

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama — Auburn’s statement Saturday afternoon was simple: The Tigers are the No. 1 team in the country. In what was one of the biggest basketball games in program history for several reasons, Auburn came away victorious inside Coleman Coliseum, 94-85 over No. 2 Alabama. The Tigers had six scorers in double figures, and Alabama shot just 5-of-26 from the 3-point arc. Here’s everything Bruce Pearl had to say postgame, as he now becomes the first coach in college basketball history to win a No. 1 vs. No. 2 game with two different teams (2008 win over No. 1 Memphis coaching No. 2 Tennessee).
