3 Purdue (21-2, 10-0 Big Ten) Basketball held off an inspired effort from Indiana (12-10, 5-5) on Sunday, beating the Hoosiers by a final score of 74-67 at Assembly Hall.
Senior center Isaac Haas led the way for the Boilermakers, scoring a career-high 26 points on 10-f0r-17 shooting in addition to a hauling in five rebounds.
But then senior forward Vincent Edwards, who scored 19 points, nailed two free-throws to essentially put the game out of reach.
Edwards went toe-to-toe with junior forward Juwan Morgan, who scored a team-high 24 points in addition to recording seven rebounds and two blocks.
Purdue entered the contest tied with William & Mary for the nation’s best three-point shooting percentage (44.2), but the Boilermakers struggled from behind the arc in front of the Indiana faithful.
