In a story that is all too familiar to Purdue fans a poor shooting first half caused Purdue to really struggle. After going 11-17 from distance against IU in their last game Purdue went 2-19 in the first half against a mixture of Penn State defenses. Luckily, Purdue finished the half with an amazing three pointer from Mason Gillis to head into the half with momentum and a one point lead. They finished the game going 6-32 from distance. Yuck.
