Purdue 69, Penn State 61: Boilers Look Like A New-Man
Welcome back, Brandon Newman.
The redshirt sophomore pulled off a John Hart as Purdue became the only higher seed to win on Friday in the Big Ten Tournament. Newman had played only five minutes across two games, both on mop up duty, since January 23rd at home against Northwestern. He had taken just one shot and hadn’t scored. With the Boilers struggling offensively and with Sasha Stefanovic picking up his second foul early Matt Painter went to Newman with 5:52 left in the first half.
Brandon delivered.
