Whew! The stars and planets must have all lined up for Purdue to get this win. The Boilers were down 59-55 in the final minute of play, when 4 positive things happened. Dominique Oden stole the ball and made a 2 point run-out layup. Andreona Keys sunk 2 clutch free throws. Ae’Rianna Harris blocked a Lauren Douglas shot. Then with 4.1 seconds left, Ashley Morrissette threw up an air ball, which Keys grabbed under the basket and put in as a layup with less than 1 second left in regulation. The ball was no more than 2 or 3 feet out of her hands when the final buzzer sounded.
