Pearl gets 600th win with Auburn's victory in season finale | |
AUBURN, Ala. (AP) Allen Flanigan scored 17 of his 22 points in the second half and Auburn pulled away late to beat Mississippi State 78-71 on Saturday and give Bruce Pearl his 600th coaching victory in the Tigers' season finale. With no seniors and just two upperclassmen on the roster, Auburn didn't stage a Senior Day, and the Tigers (13-14, 7-11 Southeastern Conference) announced in November that they were self-imposing a postseason ban as a result of a long-running NCAA investigation. But they found reason to celebrate after the win over the Bulldogs as Pearl did a little dance at center court, surrounded by his players. Pearl is the 63rd coach in Division I history and the 21st active coach to reach 600 wins. Pearl's record over 26 years of coaching is 600-237. This is his seventh season at Auburn. MORE | |
