With help from Illinois defeating Michigan, the Purdue Boilermakers are the Big Ten regular season champions!
MADISON, Wis. — Zach Edey had 17 points and 19 rebounds as No. 5 Purdue outlasted Wisconsin 63-61 on Thursday night, damaging the Badgers’ NCAA Tournament hopes.
But there was still plenty at stake in this game as Purdue sought to make its case for a No. 1 seed and Wisconsin attempted to boost its postseason credentials. Neither team led by more than three points for the final 12 minutes. Wisconsin’s Chucky Hepburn missed a baseline jumper with 1:15 remaining, but Purdue’s Ethan Morton misfired on a 3-pointer with 47 seconds remaining.
Purdue then stayed ahead and won for just the second time in five games by converting its free throw opportunities. Purdue went 9 of 10 on foul shots in the final 1:45 after going 2 of 8 up to that point.
