Purdue couldn’t make a shot from three most the game. That was mostly fine, until the end, when Marcus Carr banked in a three and took the lead for the Golden Gophers and a choppy final stretch by Purdue ended in road disappointment, falling 71-68 to Minnesota.
Purdue’s big man Trevion Williams is normally equal parts aggressive and distributing, but as he faced up against Liam Robbins, he looked to attack the basket again and again. Williams would lead the game with 24 points, knocking down 11 shots from the floor and garnering a double-double with ten rebounds.
