WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- The Western Kentucky women's basketball team got a taste of Big Ten physical play on Wednesday and didn't respond well.
Purdue pulled away from the Lady Toppers in the second half for a 67-50 win in WKU's final game before beginning Conference USA play in early January.
"They were physical with us and that was the key," WKU coach Greg Collins said. "We knew they were going to be physical and we thought we would have gotten a little bit tougher in handling that, but we didn't handle it very well at all today.
