Bruce Pearl has great answer when asked if he still thinks about Auburn's loss to Virginia in 2019
Bruce Pearl had gotten Auburn to the Final Four for the first time in school history. Then, it looked like the Tigers were heading for a berth in the national title game when a questionable foul call doomed them and sent Virginia on to the championship instead.
Auburn is a No. 2 seed in this year’s tournament. As the Tigers prepare for a game against No. 15 seed Jacksonville State, Pearl was asked about that Final Four loss.
As you can see below, he had a great answer to a question about whether he still thinks about that loss or not:
Auburn HC Bruce Pearl asked if he still thinks about the loss to Virginia in the Final Four: "It doesn't flash in my mind, just every morning when I wake up. And then a couple times throughout the day, then before I go to bed. Other than that, I'm over it."

Can Auburn get to another Final Four this year? The team won the SEC’s regular-season title, so the talent is there.
The Tigers tip off against Jacksonville State at 12:40 p.m. ET on Friday on truTV.
