About This Game
In a matchup between two Final Four programs, Purdue's balanced offensive depth and superior ball control proved decisive against No. 2 Alabama in an 87-78 home victory. The Crimson Tide came to West Lafayette threatening an early statement win, building a six-point lead (65-59) midway through the second half behind crisp shooting and strong free-throw execution (13-for-18). But Purdue's offensive attack—led by Trey Kaufman-Renn's career-high 26 points and complemented by 17 points each from Braden Smith and Fletcher Loyer—proved too balanced to contain. The turning point came when freshman C.J. Cox ignited a devastating 13-0 run with three consecutive three-pointers, erasing Alabama's lead entirely. What ultimately separated these elite programs was precision: Purdue's remarkable ball security (just three turnovers versus Alabama's eight) enabled efficient execution while limiting transition opportunities. Though Alabama demonstrated they can compete at the highest level, Purdue's home dominance (21 straight wins) proved insurmountable. Every play from this thrilling matchup is now captured in Gameprint wall art.
