Penn State falls, 74-57
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue followed coach Matt Painter’s instructions Wednesday night.
Vince Edwards was aggressive. Isaac Haas was tough. And with those two playing well, their teammates exposed the open looks they created.
Edwards scored 19 points, Haas had 14 and Caleb Swanigan finished with 13 points and nine rebounds to help No. 24 Purdue pull away from Penn State 74-57 in a game that looked almost as impressive as the box score.
“When the ball goes in it looks better, but he (Edwards) was efficient, a little more aggressive,” Painter said. “I thought Vince was really good. I thought Isaac was really good.”
Penn State’s (10-8, 1-4) Brandon Taylor finished with 21 points but drew his third foul late in the first half.
