You know when you go to B-Dubs and they have the menu with all the sauces? There are actually 21 sauces on that menu. If I were to describe the performance of each team tonight I would say Purdue was Blazin’ and Auburn was Salt and Vinegar Seasoning. What I’m trying to say is that Auburn really could have used someone with some sauce on their team tonight. Perhaps then they would’ve been able to stay in front of the myriad of shooters and big men that Purdue threw at them in the second half.
In the first half Purdue was incredibly inconsistent with plenty of turnovers and just sloppy play accounting for Auburn staying in the game.
