The Boilermakers had three players with double-doubles.
INDIANAPOLIS - Purdue struggled shooting inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse Saturday night and it nearly resulted in its first loss of the season.
The top-ranked Boilermakers needed some late-game free throws to pull away from a stingy Davidson squad 69-61, overcoming a 32.8 percent shooting performance. Rebounding was key in getting the Boilermakers to 11-0. Purdue owned a 48-31 edge on the boards and limited Wildcats leading scorer Foster Loyer to 4 of 16 shooting. Loyer finished with 11 points and 10 assists.Davidson did a solid job defensively early denying Edey the ball. Eventually, the Boilermakers worked around it, drawing away the double team inside and allowing Edey to have another monster game that is becoming commonplace for the 7-foot-4 Canadian.
