Purdue improved to 9-1 after clawing a win out versus Alabama in Toronto, 92-86. Bama’s length, athleticism and offensive philosophy is a tough matchup for Purdue…and because of that, Purdue had to fight back after digging multiple double-digit deficits to find a way in Zach Edey’s hometown. Edey matched Alabama’s Sears with 35 points as Smith had 27.

This one felt like a Sweet 16-type of match-up in the neutral site versus a team that looks like a top-20 squad…good win for the Good Guys.
