Bruce Pearl Game Quotations

It's certainly a huge part of any offensive or defensive game plan. You must be able to shoot it and defend.

This is a great win for Tennessee. This game meant a lot to us. We hadn't played against this type of competition.

ESPN called it hideous. I asked Coach Mears for his permission and he gave me his blessing. I plan on wearing it for the Kentucky and Vanderbilt games because they were Tennessee's two biggest rivals when he was there.

That was a game of two completely different halves. I was thrilled with the way we played in the first half. I was very disappointed by the second half. Give Auburn credit - they have not packed it in. They are well coached, and they will be good down the stretch.
