Purdue vs Ohio State Preview
The Buckeyes survived a late-game surge by the Minnesota Golden Gophers Thursday, ultimately winning, 79-75. The Buckeyes jumped out to an early lead on the Gophers, and they dominated the majority of the game, but Minnesota fought until the last minute, even pulling to within one point with just 15 seconds left. Late free throws sealed the deal for Ohio State, which had five players scoring in double figures, led by Justice Sueing and Duane Washington Jr., who each chipped in 16 points.
“They recognized that this is a new opportunity, and we had a lot of good stretches of play today. They’ve had a great mindset coming into it, and they got a nice win, Ohio State coach Chris Holtmann said, via Sports Illustrated.
“I think guys were excited. We knew Minnesota was a tough team, but I think as much as anything, our guys were excited,” (to get a win). Holtmann added. “I want them to enjoy this. They’re college basketball players and it’s not life or death. You can think that way when you’re losing.”
Purdue last played on March 6, beating the Indiana Hoosiers 67-58. Zach Edey led the way for the Boilermakers with 20 points and nine rebounds, while guard Jaden Ivey added 17. Purdue shot 47.9 percent from the floor and 78.9 percent from the free-throw line, and it hauled in 37 total rebounds, a feat their coach was pleased about.
“We out-rebounded them by 13, and that kind of offset us turning the ball over too much,” Purdue coach Matt Painter told Sports Illustrated. “We got 22 rebounds from three guys off our bench (Edey, Aaron Wheeler and Brandon Newman) and they had 24 as a team. That says a lot.”
With two freshmen starting alongside three juniors, the Boilermakers boast one of younger teams still playing — and the fact they’re playing so well right now bodes well for the team moving forward.
“For the youngest team in the league, I think that’s something to build off of,” Painter said. “That’s what we want to be able to do, to build off of that and play good in the Big Ten Tournament and get ready for the NCAA Tournament.”
