Tough night for the Tigers as Purdue handed Auburn an 88-60 loss in the Indy Classic. Coach Painter pointed out that last year’s Auburn squad—under Bruce Pearl—had a swagger and physicality that’s missing now. With Steven Pearl taking over and a roster full of new faces, it’s clear the team is still finding its identity. Can the Tigers rediscover that edge before SEC play? The young core is learning, but the real test is coming soon. #Sports #AuburnTigers #Boilermakers
