Zach Edey, No. 2 Purdue rally to beat No. 11 Gonzaga 73-63 at Maui Invitational

Associated Press  

HONOLULU — Zach Edey scored 15 of his game-high 25 points in the first half and No. The Boilermakers trailed by as many as nine points late in the first half, but outscored the Bulldogs 43-28 in the second half to remain unbeaten. The other difference, I thought, was their inability to make 3s in the second half,” Boilermakers coach Matt Painter said. Lance Jones and Braden Smith added 13 points apiece for Purdue, which shot 54.5% from the field in the second half. Obviously, that was a fairly big factor, I thought the bigger factor was that we just turned the ball over too much,” said Bulldogs coach Mark Few, whose team committed 14 turnovers.
