Purdue Basketball vs. Auburn Results, Highlights, TV, Prediction 12/21/24

Trey Kaufman-Renn (15 points, 1 of 7 free throws, 8 rebounds), Fletcher Loyer (11 points, 0 3-pointers) and Braden Smith (8 points, 6 assists, 3 steals, 5 turnovers) are anything but 5 of Purdue’s points in the first 33 minutes.

Johni Broome had 23 points and 11 rebounds. Tahaad Pettibord has 18 and Denver Jones 15. Auburn holds the Boilermakers to 39% shooting and 34.8% 3-pointers (Purdue’s numbers go up in the final minutes).
