Good Morning, Auburn Family. During his introductory press conference, Bruce Pearl outlined his objective at Auburn.

“I want to build my legacy here,” Pearl said on his 54th birthday on March 18, 2014. “I’d like to try to be the winningest coach in the history of Auburn basketball.”

Mission accomplished. 

Fewer than 11 years later, Pearl earned win No. 214 Tuesday when No. 2 Auburn defeated Texas 87-82 to pass Joel Eaves (1949-63) for the most wins in program history.

Get the full rundown, including Johni Broome’s 10th double-double of the season.
