Texas 70, Purdue 66: Home Winning Streak Snapped

Late in tonight’s game Purdue had a five point lead with the basketball. There were less than two and a half minutes remaining, but the Boilers picked hte absolute worst time to have a bout of the butterfingers:

  • Aaron Wheeler turned it over by failing to catch a pass, causing it to dribble out of bounds.

Those three turnovers were huge as part of a 9-0 Texas run that gave the Longhorns a rare victory in Mackey Arena. Matt Coleman III had a great slash and kick game, finishing with 20 points and 7 assists.
