The Boilermakers and Seminoles continued a trend of the Emerald Coast Classic - hard play, great defense, lots of turnovers, and ugly offense. Purdue and Florida St. battled to a draw in regulation, and continued to battle into overtime, where the Seminoles were able to just push ahead and win narrowly, 63-60.
A few hours after the Boilermaker football team went into extras against rival Indiana on the gridiron, the Boilermaker basketball team went to overtime against Florida St. Both teams fell just short.
Late at the end of the regulation, Florida St.’s hounding defense seemed to have gotten the best of Purdue.
