Wisconsin at Purdue

[MichaelRR]

At the half Pirdue is up45-39. We had a double digit lead much of the half, but Bucky closed the gap in the last couple minutes. McCarthy struggling against UWsic bigs, Puryear is doing better offensively.

Layden and Swanson leading with 9 each, Lombard with 8 and Puryear with 6.

84-71 Purdue win. Puryear 18, Swanson 17, COLLIER (see, I gave her flowers when she deserves it.) with 15 and Layden with 12. Layden one rebound away from a double double.

Very nice win....you have to feel good for the ladies. It's been a while since they won one of these. It's amazing what can happen if you don't give the ball away a million times, knock down shots and rebound.

I really like the toughness Kendall Puryear is starting to show. I think she deserves the game ball.

Nice to see Ella Collier actually look to score. If she's going to play she needs to score some.

Rashunda Jones is starting to look like a real point guard. Hopefully she continues to get better.

Nice to see Sophie Swanson continue to take good shots and not force up the impossible ones.

McKenna Layden is continuing to show she is more than just Madison's little sister. Love the effort on the boards.

Now we will see if they can take this kind of effort on the road and win one at Rutgers. They have a week to get ready for it.
