In front of a raucous crowd outside of Mackey and a sold out arena the Boilers fell to the #4 Indiana Hoosiers 69-46. Purdue tried to rally back in the fourth quarter but the Hoosier offense commanding lead proved to be too much for this Boilermaker defense.
Lasha Petree led Purdue with 13 points and 4 rebounds while Abbey Ellis added in 10 points and 4 rebounds. Jeanae Terry who has been a reliable offensive facilitator struggled finding her open teammate and turning the ball over; she had 2 assists well under her season average.
The Good:
Purdue held strong in the first quarter as IU came out shooting and didn’t miss.
