North Florida 73, Purdue 70:

Demarcus Daniels added 17 points,
eight rebounds and two steals for North Florida (6-3), which also got
12 points and six rebounds from Jalen Nesbitt. Beau Beech chipped in
11 points, including three 3-pointers, and eight rebounds for the

A.J. Hammons led Purdue (6-2)
with 16 points and five blocks before fouling out, while Isaac Haas
added 14 points and six rebounds. Kendall Stephens had 10 points,
four rebounds, four assists and two steals, but the Boilermakers were
hurt by 8-of-16 shooting from the free-throw line.
Purdue went more than four
minutes without scoring its first point of the game, but quickly went
on a 22-4 tear that gave it a 12-point advantage on Stephens'
3-pointer with 10:05 to play in the half. The lead was 11 when the
Boilermakers went cold again, going nearly four minutes
without a point, though they recovered to still have an eight-point
advantage at the break.
The Ospreys came out firing, with
Moore hitting a pair of 3-pointers and Beech's 3 pulling North
Florida within three in the opening minutes of the half, and
Purdue couldn't shake the pesky visitors. Another cold spell cost the
Boilermakers late, as P.J. Thompson made a jumper with 3:11 to play
to give Purdue a 62-55 lead, but the Ospreys went on an 13-0 run,
powered by Moore's five points, over the next 2:51 as the
Boilermakers went 1-of-9 from the field and 0-of-1 from the
free-throw line and never recovered.
