AUBURN -- Bruce Pearl didn't hesitate when talking about No. 1 Auburn's offense on Wednesday night in a 67-60 win over Arkansas. "Our offense left a lot to be desired tonight," Pearl said. "Our execution wasn't very good. I don't think our shot selection was great when you only have 11 assists and 12 turnovers." The Tigers missed 37 shots on the night. But in the end, a win is a win and Pearl was very happy with his team's ability to not allow a poor shooting night impact their effort level on defense or focus down the stretch.
