No. 17 Purdue pulls away from Utah State, 85-64, in Cancun, Mexico

CANCUN, Mexico (AP) — Isaac Haas is feeling it.

If the Purdue center has the ball in his hands, it's either going right through the hoop or he's kicking it out to one of his sharpshooting teammates waiting on the perimeter to do the same.

Haas scored 26 points and Dakota Mathias added 25, both career highs, as No. 17 Purdue beat Utah State 85-64 in the Cancun Challenge on Tuesday night.

Haas and Mathias took over in the second half, when they combined for 32 points on 12-of-13 shooting to help the Boilermakers (3-1) pull away after leading 39-27 at halftime.
