SUMMARY:Battle in Birmingham: Auburn vs Purdue Men’s Basketball
DESCRIPTION:It’s a marquee non-conference men’s basketball matchup between the Auburn Tigers and the Purdue Boilermakers at Legacy Arena!  This will mark the first game of a 2-year series between Auburn and Purdue as they will face off again in December 2025 as part of the 4th Annual Indy Classic at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, IN.\nPurdue is coming off an appearance in the National Championship game and a 34-5 record. From Purdue Coach Matt Painter, “We are excited to be part of an outstanding two-year series with Auburn, beginning in December in Birmingham, then returning to Indianapolis in 2025. We strive to make our non-conference schedule very competitive, and Auburn will be one of the top teams in the SEC this coming season.”\nAuburn looks to defend its Southeastern Conference Tournament Championship from a year ago behind the return of All-American, SEC Tournament Most Valuable Player and All-SEC First Team selection Johni Broome (16.5 PPG, 8.5 RPG, Naismith Defensive Player of the Year Award semifinalist). From Auburn Coach Bruce Pearl, “I am grateful to Matt Painter and the Purdue Boilermakers for agreeing to a two-game series to be played this year in Birmingham and next year in Indianapolis. Matt has one of the finest college basketball programs in the country. His kids play hard and play the right way. Purdue is one of the top programs in the Big Ten winning three conference championships and being ranked No. 1 nationally over the last three seasons. We are excited about playing in Birmingham, which will serve as an NCAA Regional site. With a quality opponent like Purdue, I would anticipate us selling out Legacy Arena. I know the Auburn Family will step up and meet that challenge. We are excited for our players, because if you want to be the best, you have to play the best.”\n \n \n \nEvents at the BJCC provide the community with a variety of programming that showcases a wide spectrum of entertainment content, points of view and opinions.  The entertainment content, views and opinions expressed in these works or performances are solely those of the performer, artist or producer and do not necessarily reflect the values or opinions of the BJCC.\n
