EAST LANSING, MI (AP) --
EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - E'Twaun Moore scored a season-high 25
points and JaJuan Johnson added 19, lifting No. 6 Purdue to a 76-64
victory over No. 10 Michigan State on Tuesday night.
The Boilermakers (20-3, 8-3) have won six straight, while the
Spartans (19-6, 9-3) have lost three in a row to lose their
commanding lead in the Big Ten.
Kalin Lucas played after missing a game with a sprained right
ankle. He gave Michigan State a three-point lead with 13:16 left in
the first half, then Purdue scored twice as much as the Spartans
the rest of the first half to take a 47-33 lead.
Michigan State trailed by 18 points early in the second half,
but pulled within three with 4½ minutes left.
The Boilermakers held off the rally to snap a nine-game skid at
the Breslin Center and reach the 20-win mark for the fourth
straight season.
