Bruce Pearl recaps the Auburn loss to Alabama in Coleman Coliseum

Transcript

00:00 I'm disappointed in the outcome, I graduated Alabama, made 11 threes which is on their

00:08 number for a year at home.

00:11 We just didn't get switched out on them, putting pressure on them on the perimeter in the first

00:16 half.

00:17 I'm really proud of my guys for bouncing back in the second half.

00:22 Locker room was really positive at halftime.

00:26 Guys were really encouraging here, I thought the starters tonight played really well.

00:36 Shania Broome had a real advantage on the inside tonight and we took advantage of it

00:43 but he was terrific.

00:44 He played like a first team all-conference player and he did it at both ends.

00:49 He scored, he blocked shots, he switched out defensively.

00:54 Alabama is really hard to guard, they put five shooters on the floor, they can get downhill.

01:03 They're a good team.

01:08 We missed some shots tonight that you need to make to win a really good team on the road.

01:14 I don't know how many teams are going to come in here and win in our league.

01:20 We were a team that had the ability and had a chance.
