FSU Basketball: Noles overcome No. 19 Purdue late to secure victory

FSU basketball and Purdue traded baskets early in the game before the Noles began to create separation with about nine minutes left in the first half on a shot by Trent Forrest.

The Noles used good defense to force turnovers that they would turn into points and second chance points to build at 44-32 halftime lead.

However, it was Purdue that came out hot in the second half and effectively erased that lead within the first six minutes.

They took a 52-51 lead on a Carsen Edwards layup with 13:37 left to play and built that lead to as high as eight with 3:23 left in the game.
