Trey Kaufman-Renn scores 21 to help Purdue hold off High Point in in Providence opener of the NCAA Tournament
The game was tight throughout the first half before Purdue used a 17-7 surge to take a 37-27 halftime lead.

But Kaufman-Renn slowed High Point's surge with a tough fadeaway jumper — part of a 7-0 spurt for the Boilermakers. 'The game was so back and forth the entire time and I think me and Trey and all these other guys who have been through it, we understand how to keep our composure and stay with the game,' Smith said. Boilermakers coach Matt Painter said the leadership of his veteran players was key. 'You get into trouble when you don't move into the next play,' Painter said. 'We all get caught into it. The crowd gets into it or it gets to be a close game, you can still do your job.' The Boilermakers did most of their damage underneath the basket. They owned a 45-24 rebounding edge and outscored the Panthers 38-22 in the paint.
