You would think if Purdue hits 48% from the field, gets 13 steals and 7 blocks, and holds Katelyn Flaherty to 13 points, that the Boilers would have a good chance of a win against the newly ranked Michigan Wolverines. Upon closer look at the box score, however, it can be easily seen why this loss occurred. First and foremost was being badly outrebounded, 38-24. The other reasons are being badly outshot from 3-point land and poor free throw shooting.
The Boilers came out fine at the beginning, going up 12-9. However, the Wolverines went on an 11-0 run and never looked back.
