Game Wrap: Purdue Handily Wins Phil Knight Tournament Over Duke In Final

Okay so...the Boilermakers started out looking shaky before they quickly turned into one of the most well-oiled machines in college basketball.

The first few minutes included a lot of turnovers by the Boilermakers, but the Blue Devils simply could not take advantage. Duke started off 1-4 from the stripe, Purdue kept poking the ball away to create transition points, and the the ball movement looked like the ‘96 Bulls or the ‘14 Spurs. Then, Zach Edey took over while staying out of foul trouble, drawing double teams while knowing when to pass, and when to shoot and, specifically, when to drop-step for easy (for him, at least) semi-hook shots.
