Boilermakers Win Thriller Over Hawkeyes: #2 Purdue 77, Iowa 70.
What. A. Game. The No. 2 ranked Purdue Boilermakers survived a scare from Iowa Friday night by a score of 77-70.
Tonight has to be up there will some of the craziest Purdue basketball games, win or lose, of all time. Purdue fans might not want to hear that but it was one hell of a game that the Boilermakers needed to make it all but confirmed that they will become the No. 1 team in the country come Monday at Noon.
Fans should have known better than to think Purdue was going to steamroll through every single opponent, especially ones as good as Iowa. Everyone knew the Boilermakers were going to have games like this, but the most important thing is they came out with a win.
