Buckeye Killer: No. 6 Purdue 81, No. 16 Ohio State 78.
Wow. That is all you can say about an 81-78 roller coaster win for Purdue that was capped off by an insane Jaden Ivey game-winning three with 0.6 left on the clock.
Purdue was on the verge of a monumental collapse yet again after Ohio State’s EJ Liddell connected on back-to-back three-pointers in the span of 14 seconds to tie the game at 78. It was a broken play on the Boilermakers’ final possession that left Eric Hunter Jr, nowhere to go with the ball. The Buckeye Killer himself then stepped in front of Mason Gillis to catch the pass and rise up to hit the game-winner.
