Purdue:
Purdue’s eight-game win streak was snapped by Iowa State last Saturday, as the Cyclones defeated the Boilermakers 81-58 in an upset victory. Purdue dropped from No. 1 to No. 6 in the AP Top 25 Men’s College Basketball Poll.
The Boilermakers’ 58 points were the fewest scored at home since January 2023. Purdue shot just 40.7% from the field and had 10 turnovers in the second half.
“We had way too many turnovers in the second half, and more than anything, I feel they just stole our spirit,” said Purdue head coach Matt Painter. “You have to give Iowa State credit; they were the reason for our frustration level. They took us to the woodshed.”
Purdue looks to bounce back on Saturday.
