Sixth ranked Purdue scorched the nets for 61 percent shooting, including 13 of 22 from three points range in an 83-73 win over Iowa, Thursday, in Iowa City. The Boilers raced out to a 30-15 lead at the outset and were never threatened. Kris Murray led Iowa with 23 points as the Hawkeyes struggled on offense in the opening half.

Iowa cut an 18-point deficit to five in the second half but could get no closer.

The Hawkeyes fall to 4-5 in the Big Ten and 14-6 overall.
