Phinisee’s career game leads Indiana past No. 4 Purdue 68-65

Associated Press  

— Rob Phinisee spent four seasons waiting for a moment like the one he celebrated Thursday night. The junior guard scored 17 points in the first half and then closed out a career-high 20-point game by making the go-ahead 3-pointer with 16.5 seconds left to send Indiana past No. Xavier Johnson added 18 points, Trey Galloway scored eight and harassed Purdue guard Jaden Ivey on defense, and Phinisee played his best overall game all season. After Phinisee missed a potential go-ahead 3 following one timeout, first-year Indiana coach Mike Woodson opted for an inbounds play he added earlier in the day and again Phinisee got open. It’s been a while since we beat Purdue.” BIG PICTURE Purdue: Coach Matt Painter has criticized his team’s defense most of this season and against Indiana, it finally hurt the Boilermakers.
