Sunday saw Auburn men's basketball announce a self-imposed postseason ban for the 2020-21 season. 

Monday brought more even more bad news for Auburn as Bruce Pearl announced on Auburn's Tiger Talk radio program that freshman point guard Sharife Cooper's eligibility was under review. 

"Sharife's a great kid," Pearl said on Tiger Talk. "His initial eligibility review is ongoing. We're hopeful for a resolution as soon as possible. There's not much more I can comment on."

According to the 247Sports composite rankings, Cooper was rated as a 5-star prospect and was the No. 5 point guard in the class of 2020. In his senior season, Cooper was named a McDonald's All-American.
