Given the nature of this game against an overwhelmed opponent in Truman State, you were looking at if Purdue won but in how they did so. After a very hot start from the Bulldogs from behind the arc (starting the game 5 of 6), Purdue was able to overwhelm their opponent shooting 27.3% from behind the arc and shooting 36.5% overall from the field. Purdue also did a good job in limiting their turnovers, which was a major problem for the team last season.
Zach Edey led the way for the Boilers scoring 23 points on 8-9 shooting from the field and 7-9 from the free throw line.
