“Coach Pearl is amazing. He’s what people say he is. He’s really about the right things. He’s very, very genuine and has high character. He is in it for the right reasons to help players and kids like myself succeed. He’s just a great guy.”
Bashir also attended Auburn’s game against Florida last Saturday.
“The atmosphere was crazy,” he said. “It was second to none. It was loud and it’s a very hard place to play. They support the basketball team very well.”
In 24 games this season for Casper, he shot 42.1% from the field and 37.3% from the 3-point line.
