AUBURN, Ala. — Auburn coach Bruce Pearl still isn't happy with a call that led to the costly ejection of Chad Baker-Mazara, but he's urging fans to lay off his starting guard. Baker-Mazara threw an elbow at Yale's August Mahoney as the pair ran downcourt three minutes into a loss to Yale in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Baker-Mazara was called for a Flagrant 2 foul when Pearl says he believes it could easily have been a Flagrant 1 that wouldn't have meant an ejection. Pearl says Baker-Mazara is "struggling with that right now."
