The Barn Hoops Podcast | PHEW: Auburn SURVIVES Steven Pearl's Debut

On this episode of The Barn Hoops Podcast, we’re breaking down Auburn Basketball’s season-opening win over Bethune-Cookman — a 95–90 overtime thriller that marked Steven Pearl’s debut as the Tigers’ head coach. Despite the win, it wasn’t all smooth sailing on the Plains.

Auburn struggled to finish at the rim, leaving key points on the board, and their interior defense showed cracks as Bethune-Cookman found success attacking inside. Still, several Tigers shined under the Neville Arena lights. Keyshawn Hall led the charge with 28 points, showing his ability to score from all three levels. KeShawn Murphy brought energy and rebounding muscle off the bench, while Kevin Overton’s defensive intensity and four steals proved crucial in overtime. Meanwhile, freshman Sebastian Williams-Adams impressed with his poise, toughness, and versatility in his Auburn debut. We’ll recap all the highs, lows, and early lessons from Pearl’s first win as head coach.
