EVANSTON, Illinois − What started out at a rapid pace slowed into a defensive war between the Big Ten's top team and one trying to maintain its place in second in the league standings.
With five games remaining, Purdue has a two-game edge in the loss column over a congested pack that includes Indiana, Northwestern, Rutgers and Illinois.Buie was aggressive attacking the basket. It resulted in him getting blocked twice by Zach Edey, but also helped him score 26 points despite going just 1 of 6 from 3-point range.Audige made two huge 3-pointers in the final three-and-a-half minutes, the second giving the Wildcats a 59-57 lead with less than two minutes remaining.
