Texas comes from behind late to upset No. 23 Purdue

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Matt Coleman III scored 22 points and Gerald Liddell added a career high 14 on Saturday night to help Texas upset No. 23 Purdue 70-66.

The Longhorns (2-0) have won seven straight dating to last season’s run to the NIT championship and they became the first non-conference team to beat the Boilermakers on their home court in nearly three years.

“The key for us was just hanging in there on defense even though they were bombing 3s in the first half,” Texas coach Shaka Smart said. “But I thought our guys hung in there and adjusted.”“

The Boilermakers looked like they were in control when they scored seven straight to take a 62-57 lead with 3:14 to play.

But the Longhorns scored the next seven points to take a 64-62 lead with 1:25 to play.
