Hard-fought game for #1 Purdue University, S/O to Boo Buie (31 & 9) and Northwestern for their impressive performance! Zach Edey's 35 points and 14 rebounds were outstanding but 17 turnovers for Purdue led to 20 points for Northwestern and that was the game.

Keep your heads up Boilermakers, it is a LONG season!  #PurdueBasketball #GoBoilers
