Bruce Pearl tosses headset during radio interview after Auburn-Alabama game
Published:
Bruce Pearl was visibly frustrated in the moments after Auburn’s loss to Alabama in Tuscaloosa on Wednesday night.
Auburn led for most of the game, but the Crimson Tide completed the comeback to win 90-85.
Foul trouble seemed to be the root of Pearl’s frustration. The Tigers were called for 9 more fouls than Alabama and had 3 starters foul out of the contest.
Here’s video of Pearl’s interview with Auburn radio, which ended with a tossed head set:
“We were incredible out-manned at the end,” Pearl said. “Three, four guys on the bench in foul trouble. Joke!”

It was a devastating loss for Auburn, who is trying to secure a NCAA Tournament bid. This would be the Tigers’ 4th trip to the Big Dance in the Bruce Pearl era.
Auburn will finish its regular season on Saturday at home against No. 12 Tennessee.
