First off, a huge congratulations to Valparaiso, as they beat Purdue for the first time since December 22, 1965. That 114-96 win came at Valparaiso, and it was the only win in the series with Purdue before tonight. They earned it. Rakim Chaney had an incredible night doing the same thing over and over and Purdue could not stop him. When he finally fouled out, other guys stepped up. His three to send it to another overtime was simply a player feeling it against good defense. Justus McNair’s game-winner came against much worse defense, but it counts all the same.
