Purdue Dominates Canadian Debut | Purdue Boilermakers Basketball News

Purdue blew out the Vancouver Selects 102-63 in their Canadian tour opener, with five players scoring double digits led by Antione West Jr. and Gicarri Harris both dropping 20. Freshmen Luke Ertel and Jacob Webber added 11 each, while Daniel Jacobsen chipped in 10. The Boilermakers played fast and aggressive, pushing the ball after rebounds and baskets, occasionally paying the price for turnovers but leveraging their athleticism. Defensively, they showed improved perimeter aggression, forcing turnovers with active hands from players like Omer Mayer and C.J. Cox, leading to fast-break points. While they struggled inside at times, their perimeter defense and three-point shooting—led by Mayer and West—were effective, blending well with inside play for Jacobsen. This mix signals a versatile, high-energy offense poised for growth. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
