For about 28 minutes Tuesday night Purdue was mired in one of the ugliest basketball games you will ever see. Purdue was down 34-29, was 1 of 15 from three, and was shooting about 23% from the field with only 11 made baskets. Of those 11, at least 4 were dunks by A.J. Hammons or Vince Edwards (and WHAT A DUNK by Edwards). As expected between a pair of Gene Keady acolytes, it was a defensive slugfest. It was around here that I suggested that the first 7-0 run of the half would turn the game.
