Coach Bruce Pearl and the Auburn Tigers have ascended from No. 25 to No. 16 in the AP Poll after a 83-51 road beatdown against the Arkansas Razorbacks on Saturday afternoon.
The loss for Arkansas marked their largest ever loss at Bud Walton, while Auburn kicked conference play off to a fantastic start, now 12-2 on the season with losses to Baylor (No. 12) and Appalachian State on the road.
Auburn’s junior college transfer Chad Baker-Mazara has become one of the Tigers’ top performers, and his SEC debut was impressive with 14 points in the first half.
