Charles Barkley admitted that he and Bruce Pearl hadn't talked much basketball over the weekend, but he still has thoughts on the Auburn program.
Auburn basketball icon Charles Barkley jokes that he feels like his time as a student-athlete at Auburn was 100 years ago.
But then Auburn experienced a 15-year drought and didn’t return to the tournament until the 2018 season. At the root of Auburn’s turning tables was Pearl, who was hired in 2014 and is set to lead the Tigers for season No. 10 this year. Since advancing to the Final Four in 2019, the Tigers have punched their tickets to two NCAA tournaments — both coming in the two most recent seasons, but making a second-round exit both times.
Barkley says he thought Auburn did all it could do last year, but that didn’t stop fans from being disappointed.“It’s really a great time. Like man, we’re excited for basketball season,” Barkley said. “You know, no disrespect to anybody, but Auburn has got to the point like, wow, if Auburn don’t go to the NCAA Tournament, it’s a bad year. And that’s pretty cool.”
