After leaving Auburn’s win over Georgia State after two minutes due to a shoulder injury, star big man Johni Broome made his presence known this afternoon. The 6-foot-10 forward led all scorers and rebounders with 23 and 11 respectively, shot 10-15 from the field and added two assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes of action.

Broome and the second-ranked Tigers both turned in dominant performances in an 87-69 win over No. 16 Purdue on Saturday. The preseason All-America’s 3 just 78 seconds in quieted his own concerns about an injury that had sidelined him two minutes into the game against Georgia State four days earlier.
