Purdue won the second half by 10, but UConn had won the first by 20. The Huskies were dominant for the first 30 minutes. They were ready to coast in, but Purdue wasn't on board with that plans. A couple steals, a few 3s... all of a sudden, it was a game.

But it never really seemed that much in jeopardy. Taurasi and Conlon hit their free throws down the stretch. UConn's defense tightened up again. Nice effort by Purdue to make a game of it. UConn needs to learn to keep the pressure on when they're ahead.
