HOOPS Broome the AP men's player of the week

Johni Broome, Auburn​

The 6-foot-10, 240-pound fifth-year senior and preseason Associated Press All-American is making a habit of this. This is the second straight week and third time in four weeks that Broome has been the choice, this time based on a dominant showing in a romp against then-No. 16 Purdue in his return from injury.

He finished with 23 points, 11 rebounds, two assists, a block and a steal in the 18-point win, a game in which the Tigers at one point led by 33 points. It came days after he exited two minutes into a win against Georgia State with a shoulder injury, causing a scare for the star of a team with Final Four aspirations. Factoring out that short appearance, Broome is averaging 20.0 points and 12.5 rebounds on the season.
