Wisconsin falls on the road against No. 3 Purdue
January 16, 2018 | Men's Basketball
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Vincent Edwards scored 21 points and Carsen Edwards added 20, leading No. 3 Purdue to a 78-50 blowout over Wisconsin on Tuesday night.
The Boilermakers (18-2, 7-0 Big Ten) have won 14 straight overall, 19 in a row at home and have matched the best 20-game record in school history. The only other time Purdue did that was 1987-88 when it also won its first seven conference games.
Ethan Happ had 15 points, seven assists and six rebounds to lead the Badgers (9-10, 2-4). Wisconsin has lost three straight -- all on the road.
But they were never in it Tuesday.
Purdue made its first four 3-point attempts to jump out to a 12-0 lead, and then things got even worse for the Badgers.
Wisconsin needed more than 7 1/2 minutes to make a basket, and then the Boilermakers continued to pour it on.
Purdue extended the lead to 36-16 before the Badgers finally fought back to get within 39-22 at the half.
The second half was a virtual replay when Purdue's first three baskets were again all 3s. And when Vincent Edwards drove in for a layup with 16:59 to go, the Boilermakers led 50-29.
Wisconsin cut the deficit to 16 with 14:50 to go, then allowed a 10-2 run to make it 62-38.
KEY STATS
Wisconsin: Finished with a season high 20 turnovers. The Badgers' previous high was 15. ... Nobody other than Happ scored more than eight points or made more than two baskets. ... The Badgers are 0-5 against ranked teams this season, each coming from a different conference: Xavier (Big East), Baylor (Big 12), UCLA (Pac-12), Virginia (ACC) and Purdue.
UP NEXT
Wisconsin faces Illinois on Friday in the Badgers' first home game since Jan. 2.
