Oscar Cluff - College Basketball News & Rumors

Best outing of season Cluff closed Saturday's 79-59 win over Marquette with 22 points (9-9 FG, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 23 minutes.

Impact Marquette offered little resistance to Cluff in the paint, and the end result was a season-best scoring total on a perfect day from the field, as well as his second straight double-double. Cluff is one of the most efficient big men in the country, shooting a stellar 75.4 percent on the year.

Helps anchor paint in win Cluff totaled 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists in 19 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 85-57 victory over Minnesota.

Impact Cluff, like his frontcourt mate Trey Kaufman-Renn, has been a double-double waiting to happen all season, and both forwards hit that mark as Purdue rode a dominant second half to roll over Minnesota. Cluff has been extremely efficient, shooting 71.9 percent from the field while averaging 11.4 points and 9.1 rebounds this season. Again, Kaufman-Renn gets much of the attention down low for Purdue, but Cluff has been excellent this year as well.

Best individual performance Sunday Cluff totaled 14 points (7-9 FG), 14 rebounds and one assist across 21 minutes during Sunday's 97-79 win over Akron.

Impact Cluff has settled in well with his new squad, posting nine or more points (and rebounds) in all four games to begin the 2025-26 season. He won't be relied upon as much as a scorer now that he's sharing a frontcourt with Trey Kaufman-Renn (20.1 ppg in 2024-25), but his 11.0 rpg average shows that he'll continue to be a force on the glass despite moving to a power-conference team. The added attention playing alongside TKR appears to be helping his efficiency too, as he's shooting a career-best 66.7 percent from the field.

Just shy of double-double Cluff supplied nine points (3-5 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 82-51 victory over Evansville.

Impact Cluff had a prime opportunity to put up a big stat line in his Purdue debut, as star forward Trey Kaufman-Renn was sidelined with a hip injury, but the South Dakota State transfer was limited to just 19 minutes despite no foul trouble. He should continue to start at center for the Boilermakers, but the return of TKR will eventually take a toll on his scoring and rebounding upside.
