Compared to Purdue first 3 games, Purdue looked slow and unable to hit any shots. After all, Purdue's first field goal came with just over 15 minutes left in the 1st half thanks to a Kendall 3 pointer. It remained the only 3 pointer made in the first half actually, as both Purdue and ODU struggled to score. Purdue was able to push to a 10 point lead to end the 1st half, but ODU came out firing to start the 2nd half and cut the lead down significantly as Purdue continued to struggle.
But then, Purdue proved why it's ranked in the Top 25 and started blowing up thanks to 3 Kendall Stephens' three-pointers.
