Purdue reaches milestones in an 82-76 victory over the Michigan Wolverines, Saturday afternoon inside Mackey Arena.
With this win, Purdue made some history in a couple of different ways. Purdue men’s basketball becomes the first Big Ten team to 1,000 wins in regular-season conference play. Matt Painter has reached the 400 career win milestone after the victory as well.
The opponents Purdue faced this week in Michigan and Minnesota could be seen as trap games, but the Boilermakers took care of business to keep pace with the top of the conference.
Purdue has developed a bad habit of blowing large leads this season, to much displeasure of the Boilermaker faithful.
