FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Deonte Billups scored a career-high 26 points and Jarred Godfrey added 22 in Purdue Fort Wayne's 81-75 victory over IUPUI on Wednesday (Jan. 25) evening at the Gates Sports Center.
Billups was money for the 'Dons in the first half. He scored 21 points in the opening frame with six 3-pointers. He finished with a career-best seven 3-pointers. He also had seven rebounds and no turnovers on the night. Godfrey did his damage in the second half, scoring 16 in the final 20 minutes. Godfrey added six rebounds and three assists to his line.
Not to be lost in the box score was Anthony Roberts' second half. He had 11 points including three thunderous dunks. His final dunk came just after he hit a 3-pointer to help the 'Dons go up 63-55 with 7:20 left.
The 'Dons took a lead as large as 11 in the second half only to see IUPUI cut it to two at 74-72 with just over a minute remaining. It would get no closer as Ra Kpedi made a pair of free throws on the next possession to put the game away.
Kpedi had nine points and seven rebounds. He had three on the offensive end to help the 'Dons grab a season-high 18 total offensive rebounds. It is the most offensive rebounds for the 'Dons in a game since recording 18 at Iowa State on Dec. 22, 2019.
IUPUI was lead by Jlynn Counter's game-high 27 points.
The 'Dons shot 13-of-34 from three. IUPUI was 4-of-18 from beyond the arc. The game featured 10 lead changes and seven ties. IUPUI went 15-of-24 from the free throw line. Purdue Fort Wayne was 22-of-28.
IUPUI falls to 3-19 (0-11 Horizon League). Purdue Fort Wayne improves to 14-8 (6-5 Horizon League). The 'Dons are back in action on Friday at Cleveland State.
