HOUSTON - You knew it was just a matter of time, but you know what, give Purdue a lot of credit.
The game was tied at 35, but since then the Blue Devils went on a 22-12 run to give them a 12 point cushion. The Big blow coming from Nolan Smith who knocked down a 3 to make it 49-40.
Purdue's Chris KRamer was practically knocked out on a screen, but he was able to come back into the game.
Duke looks like they'll pull this thing out...
BTW...official attendance... 45, 505...not bad...
