CANCUN, Mexico -- With 7-foot-2 Isaac Haas clogging the middle, No. 17 Purdue figures to get plenty of chances to show it can shoot from the outside.The Boilermakers responded Wednesday night with a dizzying display of 3-point shooting.Carsen Edwards broke out of his shooting slump with 21 points and Purdue shot 17 of 26 from 3-point range to beat Auburn 96-71 and capture the Cancun Challenge title.P.J. Thompson and Vincent Edwards each added 15 points for the Boilermakers (4-1), who had six players score in double figures in their third straight win since falling to national champion Villanova.We got a good mix of drives and transition opportunities, Purdue coach Matt Painter said. And then when we got the ball inside I thought our guys made good decisions. They jumped a couple screens and our guys just stopped and shot the basketball.Carsen Edwards, a highly recruited freshman, had been 2 of 16 from 3-point range. But the 6-foot guard made 4 of 5 shots from behind the arc. He hit two 3s and two free throws in a 16-4 run midway through the second half that broke open a close game.I wasnt trying to force anything, Edwards said. Things were just falling for me. Just getting into the flow of the game and taking shots when Im open.Purdue shot 64 percent from the field and it was the second-most 3-pointers made in a game behind the 18 it had last season against Vermont.Danjel Purifoy scored 22 points and Mustapha Heron added 15 points and eight rebounds for the Tigers (4-1), who were seeking their first 5-0 start since 2004-05.To go ahead and win this game and try to be nationally ranked on Monday, youve got to have special, Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said. We didnt get special out of the coaching staff and we didnt get special out of the players.Purdue hit 7 of its first 12 3-point attempts in racing to a 38-27 lead. Auburn responded with a 12-0 run before Edwards 3-pointer to close the half put Purdue back ahead 43-41.Purdue hit 9 of 12 3s in the second half.At times weve got four shooters on the floor with a big (man), Vincent Edwards said. We can mix up any combination.BIG PICTUREAuburn: Pearl starts three freshmen and two sophomores, and the inexperience showed in the second half which started with the Tigers leading. But the tournament provided needed seasoning as Pearls rebuilding plan appears to be ahead of schedule.Purdue: The Boilermakers won the two games in Cancun by a combined 46 points. That after a sluggish win over Georgia State in their first game following the Villanova defeat. The Boilermakers appeared ready for another big test next week.HAAS MISCUESHaas had 10 points and 10 rebounds, but also committed eight turnovers. Six came in the first half. Caleb Swanigan added 14 points and 10 boards.TOUGH NIGHTPearl cited Purdues shooting and its 39-23 rebounding edge and declared it a kicking. But the Auburn boss was also upset with his offense.Only having nine assists, Pearl said. (T.J.) Dunans and Jared (Harper) had six of them together. Weve got to get the other guys moving and cutting and just doing a better job of running our stuff.FAMILIAR FACEAuburn graduate transfer Ronnie Johnson scored two points against his former team. Johnson played his first two college seasons at Purdue before spending one year at Houston.UP NEXTAuburn: Faces USC Upstate on Tuesday in its lone home game in a five-game stretch. The Tigers visit UAB and play neutral site games against Boston College, Oklahoma and UConn before beginning SEC play.Purdue: Returns home to face NJIT on Saturday before a showdown next Wednesday at No. 10 Louisville. Cheap Swell Bottles . Kiriasis and brakeman Franziska Fritz finished two runs in one minute 55.41 seconds -- a mere 0.01 seconds ahead of Meyers and Lolo Jones, who likely bolstered her Olympic hopes by helping give USA-1 a huge push in the second heat. SWell Bottle Sale . Scott won the Australian PGA last week in his first event in Australia since winning the U.S. Masters in April. American Matt Kuchar, ahead by two strokes with four to play and even with Scott with one to go, double-bogeyed the 18th after taking two shots to get out of a bunker. http://www.swellbottlesale.com/ .

Burris threw two TD passes, including a key 15-yard fourth-quarter strike to Bakari Grant that effectively countered a Toronto comeback bid and led Hamilton to a 33-19 victory. Swell Bottles Wholesale Esteban Gutierrez was surprised to hear Daniel Ricciardos criticism of his driving under blue flags during the German Grand Prix.During his drive to second Ricciardo had complained about Gutierrez holding him up late in the race, later saying the Haas driver was the worst of the grid at obeying blue flags when hes about to be lapped. Gutierrez, who missed out on points in 11th, had not heard about the criticism until his media session after the race and said he had not intended to hold up the Red Bull driver.Daniel was not happy? Ok. I will speak to him, the Mexican said when told. Im surprised because I saw other people in front. I saw he was behind, of course, but he was pretty far away at that time and then at that point I lifted and lost about two seconds.I did my best, it was not my intention to block or anything. But if he is not comfortable about it I am going to speak to him because its not my intention to do anything bad to anyone.Gutierrez was criticised in Hungary for holding up Lewis Hamilton, who gestured angrily at him while lapping him. Gutierrez felt that had been a disrespectful act but said Hamilton had spoken to him in Germany - but added that he had not been warned about blue flags by other drivers,, as Ricciardo claimed.ddddddddddddThere was my discussion with Lewis, but apart from that... I got penalised, what else can you do? I had the consequence [in Hungary], today I wasnt penalised. There was nothing wrong, its not that I was blocking, OK he was behind but he was not closing.If hes two seconds behind and I lift and I lose four seconds it makes the difference to my points. So I have to protect as well my own interests. Obviously not affecting the other people and thats where the difference is made sometimes.Asked if Hamilton had offered an apology for his rude gesture, he said: Yes he did, and I explained as well that Ive never been penalised for that. I was actually, very often, told by the team that I was too easy [to pass under blue flags]. So I said OK, Im going to try to do my best, you want to try and lose the least time possible.Its part of the race. You are fighting, doing your best. I was on super-soft tyres, [Ricciardo] was catching me very slowly and then when I saw that he was one second behind or something I really backed off and let him by in Turn 2, I think it was. ' ' '
