Boilers Scratch, Claw and Fight to a 73-69 Win over Wisky

The Big Edey led all scorers with 21 points, Ivey chipped in 18 and Wheeler went 3-3 from deep to pour in 11. Sash added 8 assists, while Edey and Tre both grabbed 7 rebounds. Tre was in foul trouble most of the game, Sash and Newman didn’t shoot well…AND YET, Purdue had other guys step up and step in to clinch an important win.

Whether it’s Thompson and Ivey’s clutch free throws down the stretch, Hunter and Wheeler’s defense that closed out the game or Tre simply catching a rocket pass that looked destined for the tunnel, much of Purdue’s team made plays down the stretch. That said, this team still doesn’t have the killer instinct…It. Will Come.

Purdue is now fourth in the conference and in the driver’s seat for a double bye (if they handle their business v. IU. They improve to 17-8 on the season, 12-6 in the conference.
