Big Ten Tournament 2018: Purdue 82, Rutgers 75
The Rutger Scarlet Knights came into the Big Ten Tournament with one pass to the NCAA tournament: win 5 straight games. They beat Minnesota in their first tournament game. Then, they conquered IU in front of a home(ish) crowd. They were looking to make it a third against the #3 seed and # 8 team in the country Purdue Boilermakers, but the collective Edwardi was too much for Corey Sanders and Geo Baker and Purdue held on to a 82-75 victory.
When Purdue needed to close out the game, it was Carsen and Vincent Edwards that stepped and made free throws. The two were there to answer the call the entire game.
