Purdue only had one chance this week to shake off their two game losing streak when they hosted Ohio at home Thursday evening. They handled their business, jumping out to a big lead, and finishing the night with a 95-67 victory.
But a non-conference win at home against a middle of the pack mid-major team wasn’t enough to shake off the stink of 4 losses in 5 games before that. Purdue has had their chances to make waves, having leads and games go down to the wire against Virginia Tech, Florida St., Texas, and Notre Dame, but they’ve been unable to pick up a signature win past their home game against Maryland.
