Auburn Observer: The Stretch 4: Who will step up for Auburn in a big road game at UGA?

“They’ve had a really good year,” Bruce Pearl said this week. “It’s just the quality of the league has put them in a situation where they (had) lost seven of eight games in the league. You look at their home losses to Tennessee, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama — they’ve already played those four teams at home and lost close to all of them.”

“They're insane at home,” center Dylan Cardwell said. “I think all their home games have been an 8- or 10-point margin. They've been up against Florida, they've been up against Alabama. They've been up against good teams. They have a really good home-court advantage. Even though they're (5-8) in the SEC, they haven't given up. They're still a hungry team.”

“Because we’ve been so good at home, there are some that would say, ‘Hey, when we don’t play at home, we don’t win,’” Pearl said. “We have not played great on the road this year. We’ve got wins at Ole Miss and Arkansas and Vanderbilt, but we’ve not shot it particularly well on the road.

“But we have three more opportunities in our last five games to dispel that. Not going to be easy, but that’s the opportunity that is in front of us.”

After the loss to Kentucky last Saturday, Pearl didn’t hold back in his postgame comments: “We need to get better guard play. It’s clear. It’s clear we need to get better guard play. We’ll see if those guys can get it all figured out.”
