Feb 7, 2012 - After losing at home by 17 to archrival Indiana on Saturday many people did not expect much from the Purdue Boilermakers against Big Ten leading Ohio State Tuesday night. Through one half, they are hanging in there against the No. 3 team int he land.
D.J. Byrd has 17 points for Purdue and is a perfect 5 for 5 from long range. Lewis Jackson has also played improved basketball off the bench, as Matt Painter benched him and fellow senior Ryne Smith from the starting lineup.
The highlight of the game so far was a ridiculous dunk by Kelsey Barlow over Big Ten Player of the Year candidate Jared Sullinger. Barlow drove the lane and had a ruthless throw down on the big man:
Aaron Craft leads Ohio State with 10 points.
