Auburn’s win over Alabama, although impressive, won’t hold much significance until they face Arkansas. According to Auburn assistant coach Steve Pearl, the team’s focus should be on their upcoming game against Arkansas, rather than dwelling on their past victory ¹.
Pearl emphasized that the win over Alabama “means nothing” if they don’t follow it up with a strong performance against Arkansas. This mindset is crucial, especially considering that Auburn has already suffered a loss to Florida, who currently holds the best win in the country ¹.
The upcoming game against Arkansas will be a true test of Auburn’s strength and resilience. With Arkansas being a must-win for NCAA Tournament hopefuls, the pressure is on for both teams to deliver. As Pearl noted, “Everybody was happy on Sunday, but then it was back to getting ready for a really good Arkansas team” ¹.
