MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Jordan Taylor scored a career-high 23 points, Jason Bohannon tied a career high with 20, and No. 17 Wisconsin beat No. 4 Purdue 73-66 Saturday to hand the Boilermakers their first loss this season.
Purdue’s 14-0 start tied the best in school history, but both the 1993-94 squad led by Glenn Robinson and this year’s had their streaks end in Madison.
With former coach Gene Keady watching from behind the bench, Matt Painter’s Boilermakers (14-1, 2-1 Big Ten) trailed most of the game.
Wisconsin (13-3, 3-1) beat a top 10 team in Madison for the second time this season and improved to 130-10 at home in coach Bo Ryan’s nine seasons.
Still, Purdue, which got 24 points from E’Twaun Moore and 13 from Robbie Hummel, has given Wisconsin headaches. The Boilermakers had won four straight in the series and an unheard of two in a row in Madison.
