At the very end of another tiring duel with Zach Edey, the fifth-year guard was the last man standing — again.
Buie scored seven of his 31 points in OT to help the Wildcats beat Edey and the top-ranked Boilermakers for the second straight season, winning 92-88 in the Big Ten opener for each school.
Ty Berry also scored seven points in OT and finished with 21, and Ryan Langborg added 20.
Edey had 35 points, 14 rebounds and three blocked shots, but Purdue (7-1, 0-1) had trouble with Northwestern's guards all night.
Fletcher Loyer scored 17 points for Purdue, and Braden Smith had 12 points, nine assists and seven rebounds.
