Purdue basketball played like a No. 1 team, Penn State didn’t, and as a result, the Boilers pounded the Nittany Lions, 80-60, Wednesday night.
Penn State is back to under .500 in the Big Ten, falling to 5-6. Purdue is 22-1 overall and 11-1 in conference play.
Purdue’s Mason Gillis, who came in averaging just 5.4 points per game, scored 29, 27 coming on nine made 3-pointers, the most Mackey Arena history.
Here’s what the people of Twitter had to say about Purdue completing a basketball season sweep over Penn State.

Shutting down one of the best players in the country only to get torched by a bench player. Welcome to the PSU basketball experience.

Penn State is going to go 1-1 in a stretch you could have expected 0-2. From here it gets a bit easier for a team looking at bubble (or better) hopes https://t.co/sAc2CCn5qV

I hate to break it to the nation, but Purdue has more than just Zach Edey.

Reminder: Purdue went on a 12-0 run to start the second half at the Palestra nearly a month ago.

Penn State falls 80-60 to No. 1 Purdue on the road. Sort of a “is what it is” game.

Purdue is a superior team. They showed that tonight. Not shooting well and staying in the game early definitely didn’t help our cause. #weare

I mean, the boilers are the #1 team in the country for a reason. They’re damn good.

One free throw in 32 minutes. Nothing new here. Win the ones we need to and take care of business.
