The Boilers enter the game at 9-8 and 2-4 in the B1G, and the game is sold-out. IU will be without Sydney Parrish today and I didn't hear exactly what her injury is, and Bargesser will take her place in the lineup. Iowa and OSU are in overtime in Columbus right now.
1st period:
Scalia opened the scoring with a 3-ball. The Boilers scored after an early IU turnover to give them a lead of 4-3. IU started the game going 3 for 3 behind the arc with Scalia having two of them with IU having a 9-6 lead. Purdue missed just one shot early on and had a lead of 12-9. IU grabbed a lead of 15-12 after an old-fashion three point play with under 5 minutes left. The Boilers are 7 of 8 from the field and 2 for 2 behind the arc. At a TV timeout with 4:42 left, the Boilers had taken a 16-15 with a chance for a FT out of the timeout on the made shot.
Purdue took a 17-15 lead out of the timeout. Purdue continued to hit just about everything and they were 9 of 10 from the field and were up 21-17 at the 2:30 mark of the period. Purdue took a 24-17 lead on a three-ball and they were 3 for 3 behind the arc. Purdue took a 26-17 lead before a 3-ball by Garzon to make it 26-20.
End of 1st: Purdue 29 IU 22
IU had just one rebound in the 1st while Purdue had 11 rebounds which included 6 o-boards. IU shot the ball well, but a fired-up Boiler team was even better.
OSU beat Iowa in overtime to hand the Hawkeyes their first conference loss and 2nd loss overall.
2nd period:
Purdue continued to be hot from the field and scored right out of the gate in this period and had a nine-point lead at 31-22. A Garzon three-ball cut the lead to six at 31-25. An old-fashion three-pointer by Holmes cut the lead to three at 31-28.
It was 33-28 Boilers with 6:18 left in the period. A three-ball by Scalia cut the lead to two at 33-31. It was 35-33 Purdue at a TV timeout at 4:36 with IU with the ball coming out of the timeout.
A 3-ball out of the timeout by Scalia gave IU the lead at 36-35. IU took a two-point lead on a 3-ball by Moore-McNeil at 39-37 with under one minute to play in the period.
Halftime: IU 39 Purdue 37
After a nearly perfect 1st period, the Boilers started cooling off some in the 2nd period. Purdue dominated the boards early on with several o-boards. IU clearly missed the energy that Parrish had always brought to games.

Purdue was 50 pct from the field and 60 pct on 3s. They were 4-4 at the line and they had 18 rebounds with 6 o-boards. The Boilers had 7 turnovers at the half. The Boilers had balanced scoring from their starting five.
3rd period:
IU opened the period with a bucket to make it 41-37 IU. Purdue tied the game at 41-41 after Holmes turned the ball over for her 4th turnover of the game.
A 3-ball after another Purdue o-board gave the Boilers the lead back at 44-41 Purdue. An IU bucket and then an old-fashion three-point play by Moore-McNeil gave IU the lead and then a 3-ball by Garzon off of a Boiler turnover, gave IU a lead of 49-44 at a TV timeout with 4:53 left in the period.
Holmes (4) and Garzon (6) had 10 of IU's 12 turnovers so far. A bucket by Holmes gave IU a seven-point lead at 51-44. Holmes picked up her 3rd foul and went to the bench with 2:38 left in the period. After another o-board, Purdue went to the FT line again to cut the lead to 51-47 IU. Another bucket by the Boilers cut the lead to 51-49.
Both teams were at 13 turnovers at this point. Another turnover by IU gave the ball to Purdue with under one minute left and the game at 51-all. The Boilers knocked down a three pointer at the end of the period to take the lead. IU finished the 3rd with some of their poorest play of the game and the Boilers went on a 10-0 run to retake the lead.
End of 3rd: Purdue 54 IU 51
After a great start to the period, IU reversed that with some awful basketball which allowed the Boilers to retake the lead. IU was up to 14 turnovers at the end of the period. Holmes' game had clearly been off today at this point.
4th period:
IU opened the period with an offensive foul and their 15th turnover of the game. Scalia tied the game with a three-ball and the game at 54-54. A bucket by Holmes gave IU the lead back at 56-54. A bucket by Purdue and then a 3-ball by Holmes, her first three of the season, gave IU the lead at 59-56 at an official's timeout with 7:01 left.
IU is actually outshooting the Boilers at this point, but the Boilers have dominated the boards and made it to the line more often to keep this game close.
Two FTs by Moore-McNeil put the lead at 61-56 IU with 7:01 left in the game. After a Boiler bucket, Garzon nailed a 3-pointer to give IU a 64-58 lead. At a TV timeout with 4:47 left in the game, it was IU up 66-62 with the Boilers at the line after the timeout to try and complete an old-fashion three-point play. IU was on a 15-8 run at this point.
Moore-McNeil hit a 3-ball at the shot clock buzzer which was reviewed and it gave IU at 69-63 lead with 4:15 left.

A layup by Scalia with the shot clock winding down put IU up 71-64 and a Purdue timeout with 1:37 left.
Scalia hit another 3-ball after a Purdue miss to give IU a 10-point lead at 74-64. Purdue hit a bucket to make it 74-66 with under one minute left, and IU almost certainly will be making a parade to the foul line at this point. A turnover by Bargesser was IU's 16th turnover of the game with 26 seconds left in the game. IU sent Purdue to the line with 20 seconds left, but the Boilers missed both FTs which pretty much sealed the deal for IU.
Final: IU 74 Purdue 68
IU clearly missed Parrish's presence and leadership on the floor, but they weathered the storm after a near-perfect start to the game by Purdue. Moore-McNeil and Scalia had 20 points apiece to lead IU. Purdue's dominance on the boards as well as IU's turnovers kept this game close.
