Badger basketball falls to Purdue

The Wisconsin Badgers continue to struggle to finish games as they battled but came up short on the road against the Purdue Boilermakers Tuesday night at Mackey Arena.  The #23 Boilermakers shut down the Badgers late and claimed a 73-69 Big Ten victory.  Purdue took advantage of 7’4” freshman Zach Edey’s presence inside to dominate the paint. 

 

The game was close from start to finish as Edey finished with a career-high 21 points and Jaden Ivey added 18 more.  Wisconsin lost for the fifth time in a row at Purdue as Brad Davison paced the Badgers with 15 points.

 

The #25 Badgers (16-10, 10-9 conference) will now try to regroup and finish the regular season with a win as they travel to Iowa to take on the Hawkeyes on Sunday.

 

The Big Ten tournament starts up next week and the Badgers are looking to improve on a likely lower seed for the NCAA tournament when Selection Sunday happens on March 14.
