Purdue Boilermakers Dominate Michigan Wolverines in Big Ten Showdown
The No. 21 Michigan Wolverines faced a tough challenge on the road against the No. 11 Purdue Boilermakers on Friday, January 24, 2025, at Mackey Arena in West Lafayette, Indiana. Purdue dominated the game, securing a decisive 91-64 victory.
Michigan entered the matchup with a 14-4 record (6-1 in Big Ten play) but struggled to contain Purdue’s offense. The Wolverines, led by Vladislav Goldin, who scored 31 points in their previous overtime win against Northwestern, were unable to replicate that performance. Purdue, on the other hand, bounced back from a narrow 73-70 loss to Ohio State earlier in the week.
Purdue’s Braden Smith was the standout player, recording a double-double with 24 points, 10 assists, and seven rebounds. Fletcher Loyer also contributed significantly, scoring 10 points and shooting 3-for-5 from beyond the arc. The Boilermakers shot an impressive 72% from the floor in the first half, building a commanding lead that Michigan couldn’t overcome.
With this win, Purdue improved to 16-5 overall and 8-2 in the Big Ten, solidifying their position as one of the conference’s top teams. Michigan, meanwhile, dropped to 14-5 (6-2 in the Big Ten). The Boilermakers have now won three straight meetings against the Wolverines, continuing their recent dominance in the series.
The game highlighted Purdue’s defensive improvements, as they held Michigan to just 64 points, well below their season average. Michigan’s struggles with turnovers and Purdue’s efficient shooting proved to be the difference in this lopsided contest.
