House Report: Gophers fight, but fall short in an 83-78 double overtime loss at Purdue

On the road in Big Ten play, a few mistakes can define the outcome. Gophers guard Marcus Carr was sensational for 37 minutes in an 83-78 double overtime loss at Purdue. Carr scored 27 points, including a key acrobatic layup to pull Minnesota ahead by five points with 3:20 remaining.

The Gophers were moments away from pulling off a massive road win at Mackey Arena. With 23 seconds remaining, Minnesota led by three points, but Purdue big-man Trevion Williams poked the ball away from Carr. Moments later, Sasha Stefanovic hit a three-pointer to tie the game at 62.
