Former longtime Auburn men’s basketball coach and current TNT and CBS Sports analyst Bruce Pearl has drawn the ire of Miami (Ohio) athletic director David Sayler for stating that the RedHawks, the last remaining undefeated Division I team, are not one of the 68 best programs in the country, and therefore NCAA tournament-worthy. Pearl on Monday doubled down on his controversial take, saying the RedHawks would finish in the bottom half of the standings if they played their games in the Big East as opposed to the MAC.
Well, Sayler was having none of it.
