Morehead State vs Auburn Basketball Preview
Auburn is coming off a year that was marred by a postseason ban, finishing just 13-14. However, the expectations are that the Tigers will bounce back in a big way — their No. 22 ranking an indication of that.
“SEC basketball’s come a long, long way. And then for us, we really truly could have four and potentially five new starters from last year’s team,” Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said. “My teams have typically been better when I’ve been able to build freshmen, sophomore, junior, we got a little older, we’ve been together for a while. And last year, we were the youngest team in college basketball and this year we’re gonna be very new.”
The Tigers’ opening test is no cakewalk, facing a Morehead State team that made the tournament a year ago.
“I get a chance to walk into my locker room and tell my players, ‘This is what an NCAA Tournament team looks like.’ [Morehead State head coach] Preston Spradlin has done a tremendous job with this team,” Pearl said Sunday. “Seven returning letterwinners. Great guard play. Really well coached and playing pretty well.”
Auburn played an exhibition against Southern Indiana and were in a hole late. However, a 22-0 run helped the Tigers escape with a 68-54 victory.
“To close the game out on a 22-0 run, when it obviously was important, I thought our defense and rebounding in that stretch was outstanding,” Pearl said. “And I thought our effort was really good. Because we wore Southern Indiana down.”
Morehead State went 23-8 overall and 17-3 in conference play last year in the Ohio Valley conference.
“Obviously when you have some success there’s a lot of great things that come with it … but I think from a coaching standpoint and from a player’s standpoint you’ve got to make sure that you’re staying grounded and remember how you got there,” coach Preston Spradlin said during virtual OVC Media Day last month.
Auburn is a 15.5-point favorite for the matchup.
