Last night I was marooned on the couch, battling the flu or some other seasonal virus that has had me pretty much out of it since Sunday. It was so bad that I retreated upstairs to get under the blankets with chills and general body aches to watch the second half in at least a modicum of comfort. Through a feverish and medicated haze I watched as Purdue had perhaps its worst offensive night in months. For the second straight home game our opponent came out on fire in the second half, too.
With 9:17 left Kevin Huerter hit yet another 3-pointer to cut it to 55-52.
