Just under three minutes into the contest, a frustrated Katie Geralds called her first timeout. Yarden Garzon had scored a quick seven points and Sydney Parrish followed with a left-wing 3-pointer to give Indiana a 10-2 lead.
The timeout didn’t help. Two minutes and eight seconds later, Geralds had to call another one as the Boilermakers fell behind 20-2.
The early onslaught was all Indiana needed to cruise past Purdue, 78-56. The victory extended IU’s winning streak against the Boilermakers to 12 games.
IU scored 30 points in the first quarter as Purdue struggled on both ends.
