Well, that wasn't good. I really don't know what to say about this game. It certainly didn't seem as close as the final score indicates. Indiana was running down loose balls, tracking down rebounds, creating turnovers and hitting the glass and Purdue seemed mildly interested in the proceedings, but not to the point of worry until midway through the 2nd half. Purdue made a game out of it, and salvaged respectability, when it looked like they were going to run out of the building at several junctures of the game.
The first half was an exercise in Purdue hanging on by the skin of their teeth and Indiana playing with ease.
