First-year Auburn coach Steven Pearl announced during his pregame radio interview that star forward Keyshawn Hall is 'out indefinitely' for disciplinary reasons. Hall, a senior transfer who leads the team in scoring and rebounds, has been a standout performer in SEC play this season.

Why it matters

Hall's absence is a major blow for an Auburn team that has been relying heavily on his production. The Tigers will now need to find ways to replace his 20.7 points and 6.8 rebounds per game as they continue their SEC schedule.

The details

Pearl did not provide specifics on the disciplinary issue, saying 'the length and the duration are up to him.' Hall has been a superstar this season, dropping 32 points against both Texas A&M and Arkansas as well as scoring 31 against Texas. His only single-digit scoring effort came in a foul-plagued game against South Carolina.
