Purdue seniors had never beaten a top 10 team in their careers. They had never beaten Michigan State in their careers, either.
They made sure both of those streaks ended tonight.
That's who got this win. Vince Edwards hit some big free throws, Ryan Cline had a huge three-pointer. P.J. Thompson harassed Denzel Valentine all night long, but it was Rapheal Davis and A.J. Hammons that got this 82-81 win over an extremely good Michigan State team. Who cares if it came after Purdue led by 16 at the half, by 18 early in the second half, but collapsed to trail by 4 with two minutes to go.
