  [SPEAKER_01]: Welcome back, Boilermaker fans to the Central Indian Sports Report for a special edition of the Purdue Report, Jake Duns Preview of Purdue's Game Saturday against the Auburn Tigers at the Field House in downtown Indianapolis.
• 0:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Jake, you're gonna be there right?
• 0:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I'll be there.
• 0:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I don't know if you know this or not, but my uncle is the all-time leading score in
• 1:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's it's great.
• 1:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so I have a little connection here.
• 1:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Always been an Auburn fan, Purdue fan first, but always been an Auburn fan as well.
• 1:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: All right, well, let's talk about this Auburn team this year and it's a good one.
• 1:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Had a little curve ball thrown at it before the season where long time head coach Bruce Pearl who led Auburn to it's first final forever and now says retirement pretty close to
• 1:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: The job was then taken over by his son, Stephen, who has done a pretty good job, although they struggled at times this season, they're clearly a top 20 team.
• 1:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: In fact, I was looking at ESPN.com earlier today, they did their top 20 power pull and Purdue was seventh Auburn 20th.
• 1:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: So Jake works expecting a pretty good game on Saturday.
• 1:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Definitely, I should be a good game and Auburn's got some players that will get into here
• 2:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: can definitely give produce and some trouble here in the classic at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
• 2:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Neutral court should be a pro-produced crowd, but still a neutral court game, tipping off Saturday on to 630.
• 2:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: I believe it's going to be on Peacock for the view wash now.
• 2:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: So nice opportunity here for Purdue to really bolster the resume with a good wind like this
• 2:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: but this year fee is a little different.
• 2:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: So coming off that loss to Iowa State produced had some critics.
• 2:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: The media hasn't been as high on Purdue as before after that loss, but you should sing with things against Minnesota and Market.
• 2:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: That makes this quite one opportunity here, a chance to kind of boost their tournament resume here.
• 2:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, Market say the power five conference in
• 2:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Minnesota of course is in the big tin.
• 2:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: This is the first I think really big test since that I was taking.
• 3:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Auburn, eight and three on the year, ranks 21st need people 35th in that first season as he mentioned, or Steven Pearl.
• 3:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: They've shown that they're pretty good offense, but they do have to make consistent results.
• 3:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: They've been blown out by teams that are pretty strong.
• 3:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Some tight went over teams that they probably shouldn't have been a close game, but they've had some tight ones over teams like that.
• 3:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: The defense has been really inconsistent and they've shown a lot of vulnerabilities there that I think pretty can exploit.
• 3:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: All right.
• 3:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, we talked about what Purdue can exploit.
• 3:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: What are we concerned about with Auburn?
• 3:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: They have pretty good offense.
• 3:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, can I get into the players here to hide Petaford?
• 3:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's their primary score.
• 3:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's a quick, shifty guard.
• 3:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's going to be difficult to contain one of one.
• 3:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: I would imagine that DJ Cox and Jakarta Harris are going to split time on him.
• 3:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Project and first room traffic.
• 3:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: For sure.
• 3:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Easy guy who probably could have went to the NBA last year, but with NIL, the way it is, you can make more guaranteed money by coming back to college now and you could go in and be in a later second round pick.
• 4:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, easy guy that definitely has the potential for it to play in the NBA.
• 4:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: So he's gonna be the primary target there on defense for Purdue to contain another guard, Kevin Overton.
• 4:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's probably Auburn's best primary defender.
• 4:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: So we may see him on Braden Smith, plays well off the ball and also helps with spacing too.
• 4:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: And kind of the last guys I mentioned here, Sebastian Williams Adams actually is a forward that Purdue is actually recruiting pretty hard at a high school and ultimately chose Auburn over Purdue but he's a pretty versatile forward.
• 4:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Makes good touch, good rebounder.
• 4:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: Their leading score this year is Senior Kishon Hall from Cleveland who has played four different schools in four different seasons.
• 5:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: This is fourth one, started at UNLV and went to George Mason, the central Florida and now is at Auburn, the averaging 20 points a game early in the season.
• 5:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: It came out of the gate with 28 in the first game 25 in the second game and has led them and scoring four times, pedaferred, of course, is the more known commodity and gun, the future star and overton is capable of filling it up to.
• 5:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's probably the X factor here at your point averaging nearly 21 points a game in a
• 5:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's a good score and isolation is also a good good shooter here in the spot up this spot from three and score and transition rebounds well and a good finish and the pick and roll so he's a guy that produced really going to need to neutralize through defense, you know, take away being strong and help and switches and hopefully a guy that, you know, pretty can get into foul trouble here early.
• 6:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think they're going to be a lot of points scored in this game.
• 6:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: Here's Auburn's point total so far.
• 6:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: 95 to 90 against Patthune Cookman.
• 6:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: They scored 95 against Merrimack 93 against Wofford.
• 6:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: 112 against Jackson State 84 against Oregon.
• 6:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: They gave up 102 against Michigan.
• 6:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: 85 against St. John's 83 against North Carolina State.
• 6:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: They gave up 97 against Arizona.
• 6:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: Then they scored 92 against Chattanooga.
• 6:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: One are the other team has scored 80 points in all but one game, a 1.73 72 loss to use them.
• 6:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: As we know, Houston's got a really good defense Auburn currently at the time of this recording is ranked 13th in Ken Palm and offensive efficiency.
• 7:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that really good offense Purdue for the record is rank number one.
• 7:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: So to top, you know, 13 offenses in the country here defense on the other hand produced 25 so, you know, a respectable number, but Auburn is ranked 75th and a defensive efficiency according to Ken bombs.
• 7:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I think it's going to be a lot of point scored here, but hopefully Purdue can can kind of.
• 7:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: you know, force, uh, Auburn here to have a Texas Tech type game where, you know, produce dominates it and really all, all areas and, uh, makes Auburn not look very good.
• 7:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: And the difference in the offense is they're kind of, very both very productive, but different types of offense, Purdue depends on a lot of ball movement and inside out.
• 7:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: Auburn's gonna have a lot of isolation with their athletes and shoot a lot of three pointers and they've been really good at that so far this year.
• 7:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and we always seem Purdue get kind of hurt by that particularly against, you know, Iowa State.
• 8:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, and area that that produced really enough to just strengthen up, you don't tighten up here in this game.
• 8:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, now we have a good defensive game plan here for the Alpine Tigers.
• 8:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: Jake ESPN analytics gives Purdue a 65.5% chance to win this game on a neutral court.
• 8:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm surprised it's that high.
• 8:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think this is the type of team that with a lot of athletes that could give Purdue some trouble.
• 8:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Something tells me this is going to be a game that has people say,
• 8:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: Purdue is one of the best teams of the country after all.
• 8:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I hope so.
• 8:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: To your point, again, it's going to be a lot of points scored here.
• 8:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be obviously key for Purdue to stop Kishan Hall and to hotbed for kind of funnel them to the baseline and help force contested shots rather than they kind of play in a nice situation every talked about and enforcing some switches, particularly on on Hall.
• 9:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: And as always, we've talked about every single game, rebounding is going to be a good point of focus here for Purdue, Auburn's good enough to know that they can make you pay for those extra possessions that you can give them.
• 9:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: So limiting the offensive rebounds for Auburn, which is something that we've talked about, Purdue has kind of struggled a little bit at times with, that that'll be a big key here.
• 9:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: just establishing an inside dominant physical mentally strong if calls are going your way out freaking out and Dan locked in the game not letting the outside factors make a difference like they did in the Memphis game be looked a little discombobulated mentally and and again at least in the first half so.
• 10:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think I think it'll be a good game.
• 10:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: All right, Jake, 630 on peacock Saturday, the last really big test before the big tin season really gets underway, your prediction.
• 10:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, last chance here to tune in before when a break, you mentioned peacock 630 PM.
• 10:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: I like to do in this one, I'm going to say a to 70.
• 10:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be my score prediction.
• 10:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's crazy, Jake, because my prediction was 89, 79.
• 10:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: We will now.
• 10:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, we might win.
• 10:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was going to say that I think the control from start to finish, but I don't think it's going to be much more than double fit years if it's not five to seven.
• 10:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think it could be a big test.
• 10:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: If Purdue wins by more than 10,
• 11:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: the results haven't shown it yet, but this is truly one of the most talented teams in the country and Albert.
• 11:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
• 11:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: They've got a really good roster and it's a team that we mentioned blowing out by Michigan and Arizona, but also played a good use and team close.
• 11:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: So definitely a team that they can compete, but they've shown that, you know, against your
• 11:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: you know, took to blow them out like Michigan and Arizona have if I've produced can can force them into some bad shots and if if Purdue, you know, can can shoot, you know, relatively well from three.
• 11:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: We should mention that Liza Freeman reportedly volunteered to go to the bench, so they've had a change in their starting lineup since being blown out by Arizona.
• 11:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Sebastian William Adams, who you mentioned,
• 11:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: see former Purdue Recruit is now in the starting lineup and in the win over Chattanooga Freeman came off the bench for 19 points and 7 rebounds.
• 12:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Williams Adams had 8 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists so it seemed to work.
• 12:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: We'll see you on Saturday, Jake, thanks so much and look forward to hearing the report from the fieldhouse.
• 12:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, absolutely looking forward to it.
