Purdue center Isaac Haas missed a shot at the buzzer for the Boilermakers (23-3 overall), who saw their 19-game winning streak end. Both teams are 12-1 in the Big Ten and this was their only scheduled meeting. The Buckeyes (21-5) rallied from a 14-point deficit with 10 minutes left.
Carsen Edwards scored a career-high 28 points on 8-of-14 shooting for the Boilermakers. Haas added 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting
Bates-Diop led the Buckeyes with 18 points and 11 rebounds. Andre Wesson scored 13 points, hitting 3 of 5 3-point attempts. Jae'Sean Tate, hampered by four fouls, finished with 10 points, and Musa Jallow hit 3 of 4 3-point tries en route to 10 points. Freshman forward Kaleb Wesson was scoreless and also hampered with four fouls.
Bates-Diop tipped in Tate's miss for the game-winning basket.
