It was an insider post from a source close to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JwgreDeux 1,279 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 WIth as much as he talks about making history, I can't see him hanging it up before he gets the all time wins lead at AU. That should be this season and one more at minimu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at this topic, Auburn's official website has CBP at 173 whereas other sites have hime at 187. This difference is apparently related to the Chuck Person investigation and vacating wins where Purifoy and Wiley played and they were later deemed ineligible. That would have him tied for third with Sonny Smith and still chasing Ellis with 186 and Eaves with 208. Yeah maybe I should put an asterisk on it... But I watched those wins and Wiki still counts them so I figured that was basically a bulletproof case for counting them.

I don't recall seeing anything final on that. Apparently we did it quietly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone has info on the officially recognized total from AU (188 or 186?) please let me know. Wikipedia says 186. Coachesdatabase.com says 187. I dunno.

JwgreDeux 1,279 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Correct. CBP is now officially tied for second most all time at AU and will move into sole second with a win this weekend. Currently, 22 wins away from first all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JwgreDeux 1,279 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 7 minutes ago, mustache eagle said: Let’s get that all time checked off this year! Nice deep tourney runs. We have 16 regular season games remaining. If we win all of those we would get a top 4 seed in the SEC tourney (double bye) and have at most 3 games in it. That would put us in the NCAA field without a playin game where the most wins possible en route to a championship is 6 games. If we win every game we play the remainder of the season we could get 25 more wins. It is possible we could go something like 14-2 (T-rank prediction) in the remaining regular season, win the SEC tourney with 3 wins and enter the NCAA with 17 wins, needing 5 to tie and 6 to break the all time AU wins record.

Yes! I’ll take your first and second paragraphs and cbp can have the record with a few games in his pocket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he could still take the unofficial top spot this year but it will be next season before he officially gets to 214. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUApostle 7,651 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Bruce Pearl’s success may have been the catalyst for the rest of the conference to go all in in basketball. “Oh heck naw” was the phrase uttered by every team not named UK, UF, or Arkansas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely made the bammers' blood boil. They will never get over the fact that we made a Final Four before they did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
