Let's not forget that before the elite 8 loss we absolutely anhilated them at Rupp to the tune of 30 points. Not sure what happened in the tourney, but it is hard to beat a team three times in one year. Plus, not sure if everyone remembers but Auburn was RED HOT from three in the tourney.

I can’t believe I went in this thread without my hazmat suit on. All that toxic air being spewed from a bunch of nimrods is all around. School must be out today, I’ve never seen so many inadequate and embarrassing takes in a row like that.

It's life under the big top, a circus when Kentucky comes to town, odd things happen, fans crawl out from under rocks and their players will give their two front teeth to beat Kentucky. Then when the game begins the freaky things always start to happen, players going down and Auburn players you have never heard of become hero's making shots from everywhere. What is a foul on one end is not on the other and the announcers join in on the fun, some crazy sh** happens every time we play down there.
You hit the nail on the head....I would be in trouble if I were Kentuckys coach, maybe I would look at it different if I were but I doubt it, after those three bogus 3 point shot fouls I would have pulled my team off the floor and suffered the consequences. In college football if there are game changing calls the review the monitor in College basketball they have no accountability and with the crowd going bananas it makes it easy to make those calls.

Seems that way. Every time we play them in a game that we REALLY need, he beats us. I STILL haven't gotten over the 2019 Elite 8 game we lost to Auburn with their best player hurt. Why can't Cal beat Pearl with one of our best players hurt?
He ain't the only average coach that OWNS Cal.....the line has been getting longer every year since 2015.

While this is true BRUCE is the best thing that’s ever happened to us AU fans. Pat Dye, Shug Jordon & all other corches brought us back to football glory, but they had something to build on. I’ll go ahead & say BRUCE at UK, would be akin to the GOAT Saban at Bama & I truly mean that as a compliment to the BBN. Y’all gonna get another shot at us, maybe two & it will be glorious. Hate Ty Ty went down & that could have made a big difference. JMO
Calipari is 11-5 all-time against Pearl

How can you OWN someone if you have a losing record against them?

How can you get down by 40 to them and even claim temporary possession of them?
I distinctly remember in 2019 we beat them by 30 points in Rupp, then in the Elite 8 LOST to them WITHOUT their BEST player.

Yesterday's win was GREAT, but Cal had better beat them in the SEC OR NCAA tournament if we face them again.

Beating a team three times in one year is very hard. Beating a team three times in one year where there isn’t a foul called on them in the second half until like 2 minutes to go in your third try if beating them is nearly impossible. Bruce Pearl teams quit on him and did again yesterday.

There is NO REASON Auburn should have even been CLOSE to us in that 2019 Elite 8 game, yet Pearl BEAT us WITHOUT his BEST player!!!

We had "The Bucket" and 2 other NBA players on that team but Cal STILL blew it!!!


So, even though I LOVED winning yesterday's game, Cal HIMSELF has stated NUMEROUS times that March is ALL that matters.

I don't know about owned, but Bruce Pearl is a good coach.

Auburn as a program was winning about 53% of it's games in it's history before Pearl. Bruce has won 63% of his games coached at Auburn.


Auburn is 6-8 against Kentucky under Bruce Pearl.

Only 13 head coaches have beaten Kentucky 10 or more times. Bruce Pearl is one of them.

You clearly never played sports as it’s too much to ask a team to beat a good team three times in a year, let alone when the refs are sympathizing with the other team over a missing player. What has Pearl historically done in March? Please let us know since that’s all that matters.

He beat us to go to his ONLY Final 4.

It KILLS ME still!!!

But you give EXCUSES for it. Cal had NO EXCUSE to lose that game!!!

So that game means he owns Cal to you. Seek help man. Good lord.
YOU are the one that brought back MY post from LAST season. And I explained to you WHY I felt that way and STILL DO.

My OP was pointing out HOW I came about ASKING that question. Which was ONLY a question. YOU can disagree if you want.

Now, YOU can calm down. It's JUST my opinion.

You’re typing half your posts in all caps and I need to calm down?? Pearl wins a game in OT and he owns our coach? Bizarre opinion. But we all get one.

Auburn also beat a one seeded UNC team and would’ve beaten Virginia in the FF if the refs didn’t miss a double dribble call. They were a very good team obviously. It seems to me that your irrational anger doesn’t allow you to recognize these simple facts.

Excellent point. They arguably won the title but he acts like we lost in OT to Ole Miss.

Funny how narratives shift when the point one wants to make changes

That auburn NCAA game was horrendously officiated and one of the most aggressive teams in the NCAA went like 11 minutes to end the game without a foul called BUT now that half the board hates cal personally we simply got punked by a team missing their best player …. In the elite 8 that also just beat the top seed in our bracket.

Damn I forgot about how they refused to call a foul on them in that game. Pisses me off all over again.

Yesterday Pearl looked like a puppy who pissed the carpet in the postgame interview.

Bad bbq!
