Little man. Big heart.
The Purdue Boilermakers win their first tournament in four years, 85-70 over the Florida Gators in the Hall of Fame Tip-Off in Mohegan Sun Arena. They were led by their 5'10" sophomore P. J. Thompson who came off the bench to score 15 points along with 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, and a handful of hustle plays that kept a Purdue team from allowing a Gator team their second come from behind victory in two days.
Center John Egbunu and Forward Dorian Finney-Smith lead the Gators with 19 points and 17 points a piece, KeVaughn Allen was the only other Florida player to score in double digits.
