WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Jaden Ivey scored 18 points and matched his career high with four 3-pointers, Brandon Newman added 13 points, and No. 2 Purdue pulled away from Florida State 93-65 in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.
The Boilermakers have won seven straight home games in the annual clash between the conferences. They're also 7-0 for the first time since 2015-16 and the seventh time since 1940.
Florida State (5-2) was led by Caleb Mills with 22 points and John Butler with 10 as its four-game winning streak ended. The Seminoles had won four of their previous five in the Challenge.
One day after earning their highest ranking since March 1988, the Boilermakers played like they weren't satisfied with being considered the second-best team in the nation. They believe they're the best.
It was hard to argue against them on Tuesday.
Purdue took control with an early 6-0 run, later scored eight straight to make it 27-14 midway through the first half and headed to the locker room with a 48-32 advantage.
Florida State slashed the deficit to 59-51 with 11:43 left, but the Boilermakers answered with 12 straight points to make it 71-51 and continued pulling away over the final 8 1/2 minutes.
