No. 1 Auburn visits LSU Wednesday: ‘We need witnesses’ – Auburn Tigers

Auburn, ala. And One third of the road through Sec Gauntlet, No. 1 Auburn stands alone on top of the conference level, the only team without league loss.

Three of Auburn’s six southeastern conference winners have come on the road, where the top -ranked tigers hope to add two more this week at LSU on Wednesday and at Ole Miss on Saturday.

“Hopefully we get our share,” Pearl said. “There are only two teams that are undefeated on the road this year, and it’s Auburn and Alabama; We have each won three road battles. We have two tough road games this week with a huge price on our head.

“Our guys have done a good job so far this year, where we have been thrilled to play everyone. Are we going for a shutdown? I suppose, but I haven’t seen it yet. “

Pearl pointed out LSUS 10-1 home space to give his team and its fans a goal of the challenge awaiting Auburn called Bengal Tigers “one of the most athletic teams in our league.”

“They are a win against a team like Auburn away from being in (NCAA Tournament Bracket Projects),” said Pearl. “That’s what we need to meet.”

With the Sec Player of the Week Johni Broome, who returns to Auburn’s starting lineup, Chaney Johnson joins Tahaad Pettiford, as Tigers’ top two weapons from the bench, a luxury that few opponents can match.

“They both have a starter effect,” Pearl said. “It really helps us when we walk on the bench and we don’t fall off. We just get different. “

As opponents try to use the knowledge they have gained by scouting Auburn’s body of work this season, plotter pearl adjustments.

“Who can continue to develop and grow?” He asked, “Without going to what you’re not very good at, without trying to do things you can’t do?”

One thing Auburn has done consistently is to prevent opponents from scoring down the stretch in close play, mostly recently in Tigers ’53 -51 victory on Saturday over No. 8 Tennessee.

“It takes an elite game plan and it requires elite staff,” Pearl said. “We had both.”

When he noticed that tickets are back to Wednesday’s match in Bayou, Pearl Auburn encouraged People in Louisiana and Texas to Trek to see Tigers.

“I almost want to reach the parents of our students whose children go to Auburn, who is down in Texas,” he said. “Get on to Baton Rouge on Wednesday night. We need witnesses. ”

Looking for the 12th win in a row, No. 1 Auburn (18-1, 6-0) visits LSU (12-7, 1-5) Wednesday at. 18 CT at the Maravich Center on SEC Network. Andy Burcham and Randall Dickey call the action for listeners at Auburn Sports Network.
