Bruce Pearl reacts to beating Missouri, tying program record for wins: 'I'm on to the next one'

AUBURN -- Bruce Pearl made program history on Saturday afternoon, tying Joel Eaves for the most wins in the history of Auburn basketball. Pearl's 213th win with the Tigers was important, but for now, it was only important because it was the first SEC game. There is no time to think about history, only time to think about the next game: at Texas. "Honestly, nobody enjoys winning more than me. Nobody hates losing more than me. I'm a really bad loser. And when I win, I get on to the next one. I will celebrate whatever we accomplish this year, this summer, I'll celebrate with my friends and my family, the Auburn family, on the boat at Lake Martin, out there on a golf course. Nobody will enjoy it more," Pearl said. "But you know me. You have to know I'm on to Texas and on to the next one. And the only thing I'd rather do on that is go, let's talk about Joel Eaves or let's talk about Sonny Smith or Cliff Ellis, or some of the other great coaches that I get an opportunity to join because I'm the coach at Auburn right now. So, it's great." Everything else Pearl said postgame is inside.
