BLOOMINGTON, IN – JANUARY 28: Carsen Edwards
BLOOMINGTON, IN – JANUARY 28: Carsen Edwards /

This past week, Purdue showed that it could win any type of game.  Thursday night, the Boilermakers won a shootout against Michigan.  Vincent Edwards had 30 points, and both teams shot over 50% from three in the game.  On Sunday, Purdue went into a hostile environment and took Indiana’s best punch.  Yet, at the end of the game, seniors Isaac Haas and Vincent Edwards made big plays late and Purdue was able to get out of Bloomington with a win over its hated rivals.

Purdue has now won 17 games in a row.  It has two more games this week, starting with a home game Wednesday night against Maryland.  Purdue will hit the road again to face Rutgers at the RAC Saturday night.  Purdue has dominated most of its opponents during this run, but being able to win two close games this week was very impressive.
