EAST LANSING, Mich. — No. 3 Purdue basketball defeated Michigan State 64-63 on Monday at the Breslin Center to improve to 17-1 on the season and 6-1 in Big Ten play. 

Junior center Zach Edey scored a career-best 32 points on 13-of-26 shooting while pulling in 17 rebounds and recording two blocks in 37 minutes on the floor. Down by one point late in the second half, Edey scored the go-ahead basket with 2.2 seconds left that won the game for the Boilermakers. 

"They were very physical with him and just made it hard," Purdue coach Matt Painter said. "But for us, it's really not a decision. If you're going to allow him to get it, then we're going to go to him. He missed a lot of shots today that he normally makes, but obviously, he's still a tough cover."

The Spartans had a chance to win the game at the buzzer, but senior guard Tyson Walker missed a 3-point attempt after an in-bounds pass. He finished with 30 points on the afternoon. 

Purdue freshman guard Fletcher Loyer put together a strong second half and finished with 17 points on 5-of-9 shooting. He went 2-of-3 from the 3-point line and 5-of-5 on his free-throw attempts. 

The team returns to action with another road matchup at 7 p.m. ET on Thursday, Jan. 19 against Minnesota at Williams Arena.
