Brief thoughts and grades: Vermont at Auburn

AUBURN -- Auburn beat Vermont by 51 points on Wednesday night. It was the largest margin of victory over a Division I opponent in the Bruce Pearl era. And Vermont was picked to win the America East and entered the game a Top 100 KenPom and Torvik team. It's only one game, but Pearl will take that performance all day long. It certainly provides a glimpse of what this team is capable of accomplishing when they are on. Grades and thoughts from the performance inside.
