Purdue needed some good basketball mojo after a rough start to the Big 10 season, and playing Penn St. was just what the doctor ordered. Purdue dominated the game throughout, and the Nittany Lions never provided much of a threat. Purdue was able to impose their will in the paint, and find open looks from the perimeter. Basically, Penn St. let Purdue do what Purdue does best, and the Boilers cruised to a 74 - 57 victory.
Player of the Game: Vince Edwards looked like the Vince Edwards everyone has been waiting for tonight. Vince can bring an explosive, attacking option from the wing when he is locked-in, and for the first time in a long time, Vince was ready to go.
