After two straight buzzer beater losses that cost Purdue a chance at a Big Ten championship the Boilers survived what was nearly a third. Trevion Williams could not ice the game with 6 seconds left, missing two free throws with Purdue up two, but Xavier Johnson’s heave from near half court was found wanting and Purdue barely hung on to beat Indiana in the regular season finale.
Purdue looked like it was in control in the first half of this one. The Boilers led by 13 with 2:44 left in the first half, but the Hoosiers closed it on a 9-0 run.
