Purdue grabs share of Big Ten title

March 1, 2017 By Bill Scott

The 16th ranked Purdue Boilermakers grabbed a share of the Big Ten men’s basketball regular season title by knocking off the Indiana Hoosiers 86-75 in West Lafayette, Indiana on Tuesday night.

Caleb Swanigan scored 21 points, 17 in the second half, to lead the Boilermakers.  Teammate Dakota Mathias scored 17 of his 19 in the first half as the Boilermakers (24-6, 13-4 Big Ten) can do no worst than share the Big Ten title.

James Blackmon Jr. had 16 points to lead Indiana (16-14, 6-11), which has now dropped eight of their last 10 games.
