The Rebound: Purdue 99 Texas Southern 67
Alex Martin/Journal and Courier / USA TODAY NETWORKThe Purdue Boilermakers took care of business against the Texas Southern Tigers 99-67 following their amazing run in the Maui Invitational. Let’s jump into how the Boilers fared from ‘The Three Pointer!’
1 | Take Care of the Ball
Purdue did a great job in taking care of the ball for most of the game until it was evident that the backups and deep bench players would finish up a long portion of the game. Even then, the team only had 10 as a team which is right where Matt Painter wants to have his team at. On top of that, Purdue didn’t really have any bad turnovers of the ‘pick 6’ variety that lead to easy points for the other team in any major.
