Auburn's Bruce Pearl calls for release of Edan Alexander from Hamas captivity

Auburn Tigers men’s basketball coach Bruce Pearl made a passionate plea for the return of American hostage Edan Alexander from Hamas captivity in Gaza.

The No. 1-seeded Tigers rolled to an 82-70 victory over No. 9 Creighton on Saturday and Pearl started his postgame media availability by talking about Alexander. The 21-year-old Israeli-American solider is one of the 59 hostages still in Gaza. More than half of the hostages being held by Hamas terrorists are believed to be dead.
