AUBURN -- Another game, another Quad I opportunity for No. 1 Auburn, as it heads to No. 23 Georgia for a Noon pm CT tip inside Stegeman Coliseum. The Tigers lead college basketball with nine Quad I wins (9-1), one ahead of Oregon (8-1), three ahead of Kentucky (6-3), and four ahead of Illinois, Duke, Marquette, Ole Miss, Memphis, Tennessee and Iowa State, all with five Quad I wins. "I find it interesting that this is the second time in the last four years that Auburn has gone to Georgia ranked number one. We're very fortunate to get out of Stegeman Coliseum and win by two when Wendell Green made a bucket at the buzzer," Pearl said. Pearl talked more about the game, life without Johni Broome, defending Asa Newell and much more inside.
