After trailing a little bit early Purdue led throughout the second half and held off High Point 75-63 to move on to round 2 of the NCAA Tournament. Trey Kaufman-Renn had 21 points and Braden Smith had 20, but it was Camden Heide's 11 points and 10 rebounds off the bench that really made the difference.
Purdue will now move on to face either McNeese or Clemson in round 2 on Saturday. Here is all of Boiler Upload's postgame video from Providence.
