Bruce Pearl reflects on Steven Pearl's first win as Auburn basketball's head coach Bruce Pearl was filled with joy watching his son Steven lead the Auburn Tigers to a win on Monday.
Arterio Morris - Nearly leads team to huge upset Morris ended Monday's 95-90 OT loss to Auburn with 20 points (7-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals over 37 minutes.
Impact Morris was spectacular in this game and was a big reason why Bethune-Cookman nearly pulled off a massive upset over Auburn. It's been a tough road for Morris who was one of the highest rated guard recruits in the 2022 cycle. He had a slow start with Texas before transferring to Kansas the following season. Morris would never play a game for the Jayhawks as he dismissed from the team after being arrested on rape charges prior to the 2023-24 season. Those charges were later dropped. Morris took a year off from D-I basketball, but seems to have found a fresh start with Bethune-Cookman. He will be one of the best guards in the Southwestern Conference this season. Morris and his team have another tough test upcoming on Thursday against Miami.

Sebastian Williams-Adams - Scores 15 off the bench Williams-Adams had 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-8 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 29 minutes during Monday's 95-90 OT victory over Bethune-Cookman.
Impact It was a bit of a rocky start to the coach Steven Pearl era with the Tigers who needed extra time to knock off the team from the SWAC. The good news is that the younger Pearl may have found a rotation player in the 6-8 freshman from Houston. He played a starter's complement of minutes and was the first Auburn player off the bench. Keep an eye on Williams-Adams.

KeShawn Murphy - Not starting Monday Murphy is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Bethune-Cookman.
Impact Murphy won't get the nod with the first unit in this opener, and Keyshawn Hall will start instead. However, Murphy could be available off the bench in case the team needs him. The big man is recovering from knee and hip injuries, so it wouldn't be surprising if he's available on a minutes restriction.
