Longtime friends Todd Golden and Steven Pearl will put their bond aside as they face off as head coaches for the first time—Golden leading Florida and Pearl at the helm for Auburn. Both have deep ties, having played and coached together, but now they’re calling the shots for two SEC programs with big ambitions. The matchup isn’t just about basketball; it’s about loyalty, legacy, and the unique pressure of competing against someone who feels like family. How do you think close friendships impact the intensity of these high-stakes games? #Sports #Basketball #CollegeBasketball
