Kaufman-Renn finishes with 26 vs. Alabama
Trey Kaufman-Renn finished Friday’s 87-78 win over Alabama with 26 points (12-23 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), eight rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes. Kaufman-Renn took over against the Crimson Tide, logging 26 points, eight rebounds and four assists as the Boilermakers took down #2 Alabama. The 6-foot-9 junior hardly resembles the towering Zach Edey of past Boilermakers’ squads, but that hasn’t stopped Matt Painter from centering his gameplan around the five spot once again. Through four games, Kaufman-Renn is averaging 18 points, 6.3 rebounds, three assists and 0.5 steals on 29.3 minutes per game.
Owens makes season debut on Friday
Damarius Owens (toe) notched two points (0-1 FG, 2-2 FT) and one steal over four minutes during Friday’s 78-74 victory over Maryland. Owens made his long-awaited season debut Friday, but he was limited to just four minutes off the bench. He’s expected to continue seeing minutes off the bench in the team’s upcoming games.

Purdue vs. Marquette CBB Prediction:
Take Purdue. These two teams have met four times since 2017, with Purdue winning three times. The last time these squads played was in November a year ago. Despite playing in Milwaukee, the Boilermakers posted a 78-75 victory as a 3-point favorite.
Are the Boilermakers a better team now than the one that went to the NCAA Tournament Championship last season? No, but they’re still solid. I’m not sure why they’re receiving 5.5 points in this matchup, but I’ll gladly take the points.
