Auburn basketball coach Bruce Pearl made an emotional plea for the release of Edan Alexander, the last living American being held hostage in Gaza by Hamas, after their win at March Madness. Alexander, a 21-year-old Israeli-American soldier, is one of 59 hostages still in Gaza. Pearl, who is Jewish, used the platform to bring attention to Alexander's situation and the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. He called for the release of the hostages and emphasized the need for peace in the region.
