Bruce Pearl didn’t really compete until year 4

But the difference is that a decade ago only about 3 sec teams per year were making the dance, so auburn could afford to be patient with him and let him build his program. Not to mention Auburn was a historical basketball doormat in this conference prior to Pearl. Now, 8-9 SEC teams a year are making the tournament and we are adding two more teams next year that usually make the tournament as well. We have to catch up ASAP.
