IU Purdue Basketball Game Recap

Last night was the second meeting between IU and Purdue.  The game was played at Assembly Hall.  At the beginning of the game IU started off with a huge alley oop by Hanner Mosquera-Perea, he caught is with one hand and slammed it.  The game was tight all the way through the first half, and IU had a two point lead going into half.  To start the second half Jon Octeus had a posterizing dunk over Collin Hartman in the middle of the lane.  Octeus caught it on the wing and drove to through the middle of the lane, then Hartman tried to take a charge but just couldn't get there in time.  Purdue also got on a huge run to start the second half up by as many as 12 at one point.  IU by the end of the game tried to make a run, and come back and win.  IU just didn't have enough in the tank to do so though.  Purdue came into Assembly Hall and upset the Hoosiers with a statement win with the final score of 67-63 Boilermakers.  A.J. Hammons was the leading scorer for Purdue with 20 points.  For IU Yogi Ferrell was the leading scorer with 21 points.  The Hoosiers will be back in action on Sunday against Rutgers.  Purdue will also be back in action Thursday against Rutgers.
