Northern Kentucky Norse at Purdue Boilermakers
· NCAA Men's BasketballLoyer and Kaufman-Renn lead No. 14 Purdue past Northern Kentucky 72-50
Braden Smith added 11 points and seven assists for the Boilermakers (2-0). Caleb Furst scored eight off the bench.
No one reached double figures for the Norse (0-2). Trey Robinson, Sam Vinson and Keeyan Itejere each had eight points.
The Boilermakers used a 12-0 spurt to take an 18-4 lead in the opening half. However, a nearly six-minute scoring drought kept Purdue from pulling away early. The Boilermakers settled for a 37-24 halftime lead.
In the first minute of the game, Purdue freshman center Daniel Jacobsen, who scored 13 points in the season opener, fell and needed to be helped to the bench. He was able to walk to the locker room and returned to the bench with ice on his shin, but did not play again.
Boilermakers coach Matt Painter said Jacobsen sustained a lower leg injury and will have an MRI on Saturday.
Purdue: The Boilermakers did a better job of finishing off an overmatched opponent than they did in a 90-73 victory against Texas A&M Corpus Christi. Purdue’s lead was narrowed to three points late in that game. Purdue was helped by shooting 50% from the field, but was just 9 of 14 at the free-throw line.
Purdue: Will host Yale on Monday.
