Bruce Pearl: Auburn can't let UNC's big guards change how Tigers play

Posted Mar 28, 2019
When one breaks down the size disadvantages Auburn will face against North Carolina in the Sweet 16, the issue is not necessarily the frontcourt. The Tigers have players to guard the likes of a 6-foot-8 Luke Maye. The issue is at the guard spots, where the shortest player stands 6-foot-5 and Auburn’s Jared Harper and Bryce Brown stand 5-foot-11 and 6-3, respectively. (247 Sports)
