Bruce Pearl criticizes reporter after Tennessee loss

Auburn's basketball team has lost three of its last four games, including recent defeats to Alabama, Tennessee, and Texas A&M. These losses have affected their chances for a top seed in the NCAA Tournament, potentially allowing Duke to take that position. In a postgame press conference, Auburn coach Bruce Pearl reacted strongly to a reporter's question about whether he was panicking. He expressed frustration, emphasizing that the losses were to strong teams and dismissed the notion of panic. Auburn is now waiting for their NCAA Tournament seeding, which will be announced on Sunday. Their recent performance may impact their ranking, especially if Duke wins their next game.
