2017 ACC/Big Ten Challenge: Purdue 66, Louisville 57
That was far from a thing of beauty.
Of course, we have a rule around here. Every Win is Beautiful. Regardless of how Purdue gets there, as long as we have more points than the other team at the end of the day it doesn’t matter how we get there.
Tonight definitely tested that theory.
Neither team shot well. Louisville was 31.7% from the field and Purdue was 33%. At one point Purdue was a dismal 1 of 16 from three. The Cardinals had a chance to open it up a bit in the second half, then Purdue came back. Good Purdue showed up for about five minutes, then it was like bad Purdue ran back into the building as a 7 point lead was erased in about 4 seconds, it seemed.
