Purdue Defeats Northwestern in Overtime Amid Free-Throw Controversy

Northwestern's Coach Chris Collins Ejected, Cites 'Crazy' Free-Throw Discrepancy in Loss

Purdue Boilermakers defeated Northwestern Wildcats 105-96 in an overtime game, with Purdue's Zach Edey scoring 10 of his 30 points in overtime.
Northwestern's coach, Chris Collins, was ejected from the game with 1.7 seconds left after walking onto the court and yelling at an official.
Collins pointed to a significant free-throw discrepancy as a key factor in the game's outcome, with Purdue having 38 more attempts from the foul line.
This was the largest free-throw attempt gap in Big Ten conference games over the last 25 seasons.
Despite the loss, Northwestern's Boo Buie and Ty Berry each scored 25 points.
