1st half
15:55 — Purdue opens up an early 10-2 lead in College Park and Buzz Williams takes a timeout. A really good effort from the Boilermakers early, especially on the defensive end. Fletcher Loyer has knocked down two threes early. Trey Kaufman-Renn and Oscar Cluff have also scored early for the Boilermakers. In these games, it's important for Purdue to keep its foot on the gas.
17:25 — Fletcher Loyer gets an open three-pointer and knocks it down to give Purdue an early 5-2. That's a good sign for the senior, who has struggled with his shot recently. He's shooting just 27% from three in his last seven games.
