I watched the game on the BTN.
Some memorable moments. Early in the game, with the score tied at 10, on two straight possessions, Ohio lobbed two ill-advised long passes that Purdue turned into quick baskets and led 15-10.
In my mind, that was the last time Ohio lost its poise. Purdue led, if I'm recalling correctly, 37-36 at the half.
Early in the second half, Ohio took the lead and didn't relinquish it.
Purdue owned the boards, but Ohio hounded Purdue into something like 33 turnovers (announcers mentioned more than once that Ohio leads the nation in the ratio of turnovers forced versus turnovers committed). And, yes, hounded is the appropriate verb.
Ohio's free throwing could stand a tad of improvement.
