Keegan Murray broke the Big Ten tournament scoring record en route to a 19-point, 11-rebound performance to give Fran McCaffery his first Big Ten Tournament title, besting the HATED Purdue Boilermakers, 75-66 in Iowa’s first trophy since 2006.
The win sets the table for what could become his first real signature run in the postseason while at Iowa. This one put his coaching abilities on full display, as Fran squeezed every last drop of his roster to put out fires against a Purdue team that boasts at least three NBA talents.
But he has Keegan Murray, and he’s pretty good too.
