Coming into this game, we knew that Lipscomb would test Purdue. Despite Purdue opening up with a 10-2 lead, Lipscomb would not bow down and made their first 6 3-pointers, staying right next to the Boilers throughout most of the 1st half. Thankfully, Purdue was able to hit most of their shots in the first half, led by Carsen Edwards’ 11 points, and never let Lipscomb take a lead (though they did tie the game a few times).
Purdue came out of halftime with a 5 point lead and never looked back. Lipscomb started to falter towards the end of the first half, and could not find their rhythm in the 2nd half as Purdue’s lead quickly ballooned into the double digits.
