Minnesota upsets No. 15 Purdue

Nate Mason scored 31 points, and Eric Curry scored seven of his 10 in overtime as Minnesota upset No. 15 Purdue 91-82 on Sunday in West Lafayette, Ind.

The teams traded baskets to begin the extra period before a Curry basket began an 11-0, victory-clinching run that snapped the Boilermakers’ seven-game winning streak.

Minnesota (13-2, 1-1 Big Ten) overcame 28 points and 22 rebounds from Caleb Swanigan, but it wasn’t enough to save the Boilermakers (12-3, 1-1).

Swanigan’s layup with 4.6 seconds remaining in regulation tied the game at 73 and forced overtime.

The Golden Gophers began the game by making their first eight shots and building a 17-4 lead, but Purdue rallied to lead 50-43 with 13:39 remaining. Mason scored 10 during the next three minutes, and it was back and forth the rest of the way.

The Golden Gophers had lost eight in a row at Purdue and had not won in Mackey Arena since Feb. 26, 2005.

Butler rebounds:

After a loss at St. John’s to open Big East play, the No. 13 Bulldogs responded with a much needed win over Providence behind 15 points from Kelan Martin and 11 points each from Andrew Chrabascz and Avery Woodson.

Kethan Savage added 10 points for Butler (12-2, 1-1). Butler shot 62 percent from the floor (26 of 42) and the Bulldogs’ backups outscored the Friars’ reserves 29-5.

In the first half, the Bulldogs made 16 of 22 field goal attempts, shooting 72 percent. Thirteen of the Bulldogs’ 26 field goals were scored off of an assist, and Butler outrebounded Providence 30 to 26.

Kyron Cartwright scored 26 points and Rodney Bullock added 17 for Providence (10-5, 0-2).
