Purdue 66, North Carolina State 61: Freshman
Vince Edwards scored 16 points as the Boilermakers handed the visiting Wolfpack
their first loss in an ACC/Big Ten Challenge matchup.
Seven-footers A.J. Hammons (15) and Isaac Hass (13)
added a combined 28 points and 12 rebounds for Purdue (6-1), which beat North Carolina State for
the first time in five meetings. Kendall Stephens chipped in nine
points, Dakota Mathias had seven and Edwards led the team with nine rebounds.
Kyle Washington had a career-high 17 points and a
team-leading nine rebounds off the bench for the Wolfpack (6-1), who were
playing their first true road game of the season. Alabama transfer Trevor Lacey
added 15 for the visitors, but they were outrebounded (37-31) for the first
time all season.
Purdue took a 36-34 lead into the second half, and
it led 62-56 with a little more than five minutes to go before the Wolfpack
closed to within 64-61. Lacey, however, missed the front end of a 1-and-1
opportunity before Beejay Anya was stripped after pulling down the offensive
rebound and Hammons made a pair of free throws for the final margin.
With Edwards scoring 13 points, Purdue controlled
the first half inside, and the visitors’ last lead of the half came at 4-2. The
Boilermakers led by as many as nine, and they finished the half with the
two-point lead and a 19-14 rebound edge, including 9-4 on the offensive glass
which resulted in a 16-5 second-chance points advantage.
