Carl Landry powered the Boilermakers with 21 points and 13 rebounds, while Chris Kramer added 16 points, including a basket from his knees. Chris Lutz hit his first four 3-pointers and scored 16 and David Teague added 15. This win was no fluke.
Purdue (22-11) only trailed once and it was by a single point. It was a fitting finish for an Arizona team that had underachieved all year. The Wildcats were (20-11) hoping to click in mid-March like their championship team from 10 years ago, but instead became another of Olson's first-round flameouts.
