HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – Jalen Jackson finished a rebound short of a double-double with 17 points and nine rebounds to help the Purdue Fort Wayne men's basketball team to a 63-58 victory at Northern Kentucky on Thursday (Jan. 25).

Rasheed Bello added his own three at 2:01 to put the 'Dons up 57-50. An Eric Mulder layup at 1:13 and several key free throws down the stretch clinched the contest.
The 'Dons limited NKU to 35.8 percent (19-of-53) from the floor and 3-of-18 from three. NKU had only two field goals in the final 10 minutes of the contest. Marques Warrick led the Norse with 27 points.
