Auburn Tigers Defeat Texas, Set Coach Record

The No. 2 Auburn Tigers, who boast a 14-1 record and a six-game winning streak, recently achieved a significant milestone by defeating Texas 87-82, marking coach Bruce Pearl's 214th career win, a school record. Auburn had a strong lead of 21 points in the second half, but Texas rallied, led by Arthur Kaluma's impressive 34 points. As the Tigers prepare for the challenging SEC play, they have recorded two wins against AP top five teams and lead the nation in offensive efficiency. Their upcoming match against Missouri is critical as they navigate a conference filled with nine ranked teams. Following their victory over Texas, Auburn is positioned to potentially ascend to the No. 1 ranking next week. Meanwhile, Texas faces challenges after losing its SEC opener and aims to improve in their upcoming games.
