The Boilermakers scored the first 12 points of the second half.
For 20 minutes, it was Penn State and fifth-year senior Jalen Pickett torching Purdue's defense.
That shifted in the second half with the No. 1 Boilermakers holding Penn State to just 36.7 percent shooting in the final 20 minutes and overcoming a six-point halftime deficit to beat the Nittany Lions 76-63 at famed The Palestra on the Penn University campus.This has been a recurring theme, so much so that his 16 points and 11 rebounds against Ohio State on Thursday wasn't as applauded as it should have been.
