Arrr, the Auburn ship's captain be defendin' his lad Chad Baker-Mazara, who was sent walkin' the plank in the NCAA tournament. No need for the lad to walk the plank, just let him swashbuckle his way back onto the court, eh mateys?
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, me hearties, Auburn basketball coach Bruce Pearl be raisin' his voice once more about Chad Baker-Mazara's early ejection from the Tigers' first round loss in the NCAA men's basketball tournament. The scurvy junior guard was sent off for a flagrant 2 foul within minutes of the game against Yale on March 22. "Avast ye, that be a tough call," Pearl squawked. "The lad got hit earlier, got a bit of an elbow, but they let it pass. Then, Chad swung and it be inappropriate." But Pearl be turnin' his tongue to the Auburn loyalists who be slingin' criticism at Baker-Mazara. "Arrr, he be me son, and if someone be messin' with him, I'll not stand for it," Pearl roared. "He made a blunder, he apologized. Those on social media who continue to harp on it, unfollow them."Baker-Mazara be a vital part of Auburn's crew, but the turnovers and free throws be the downfall in the match. Associate head coach Steven Pearl be swearin' that with Chad on deck, they'd have plundered a victory over Yale. The lad be averagin' 10.3 points, but he didn't scuttle any before getting the boot.To keep up with Fox News Digital’s sports coverage, follow them on Twitter and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
