HUNTSVILLE, Ala. -- Bruce Pearl admitted not every game will look like the Indiana win where multiple players scored 20-plus points. Most games, Pearl said, will look something like what happened on Wednesday night in the win over UNC Asheville. This Auburn team is built on depth and consistent production and energy, something that was evident in the 25-point win. "I think this team has the chance because it's 10 or 11 guys, to have that kind of balance," Pearl said. "Jaylin Williams isn't going to have 24 and whatever he had every night. Neither will Johni Broome. Neither will Aden Holloway. Neither will any of our guys. The question in that locker room is, are they OK with it? How do they feel about it? Every player is going to want a double-double. The way we have a chance to be the best team we can is to be able to share it the way we're sharing it. It will put us in a situation where if we have an injury or foul trouble, we'll be able to withstand that." More from Pearl inside...
