Purdue has won nine straight in the series, matching the second-longest streak in school history. The Boilermakers also won nine straight from 1929-35 when future coach John Wooden was playing, plus they won 12 straight from 1908-14. “It’s big for the fan base, it’s big for the state, it’s big for us, for sure,” Edey said. It quickly cut a 29-20 deficit to 35-31 early in the second half before the Boilermakers answered with eight straight points. The Boilermakers won despite going 6 of 21 on 3s and having 15 turnovers.
