Revenge In Mackey: #5 Purdue 84, Rutgers 72.

Purdue extends their winning streak to three in a row with an 84-72 victory over the streaking Rutgers Scarlet Knights, Sunday evening.

This was a big-time win for the Boilermakers. Rutgers has had Purdue’s number in recent years and spoiled the only No. 1 ranking in program history in December. Purdue got their revenge tonight, by beating one of, if not the hottest team in the entire country in a comfortable fashion. Rutgers came into today’s game with a 4 game winning streak coming against all teams in the AP Top 25.

From the opening tip, it was clear to see that Purdue had more juice than in previous games.
