WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – As Illinois State fought tooth-and-nail to garner their second Big 10 win of the season Sunday, it would be the home Purdue Boilermakers holding strong to take a 64-51 win over ISU inside Mackey Arena.
The Redbirds fall to 6-3 on the season with one more non-conference game on their slate while Purdue moves to 9-2 as the 2022-23 season rolls on for both programs.
Illinois State would score the game's first four points off a pair of field goals by DeAnna Wilson and Paige Robinson. Purdue would respond to get their first points thanks to a Caitlyn Harper layup with 8:34 on the clock.
