The best offense in the country is getting even better, the Purdue Boilermakers went into The Barn and handled Minnesota, 88-73.
It’s hard to have many complaints with a double-digit win on the road in the Big Ten, but Purdue’s early dominance once again faded as their defense struggled to contain Minnesota’s shooters. A near 20 point lead dropped to 7 points in the second half, but Purdue quickly pushed back after the second to last TV timeout and showed why they’re one of the best teams in the country.
Purdue started the game on a tear, making their first 8 field goal attempts, and ignited behind three Purdue starters.
