IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Zach Edey had 30 points and 18 rebounds to lead No.
Edey, the reigning national player of the year, put constant pressure on Iowa’s smaller frontcourt while getting his 12th double-double of the season.
Iowa later answered with seven consecutive points before the Boilermakers closed the half with a 9-3 run to lead 47-34 at halftime.
Purdue maintained a double-digit lead for most of the second half before Iowa got to within 78-70 with 4:22 left.
Edey was as dominant inside, as usual, and Purdue’s 3-point shooting left Iowa defenseless.
