1/8/2025 10:38:00 PM | Men's Basketball
FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The Purdue Fort Wayne men's basketball team never trailed over the final 25 minutes of Wednesday's (Jan. 8) 78-73 Horizon League victory. The Mastodons recorded 10 blocks, the most in a game for the program since 11 against SIUE on Feb. 23, 2010.
Jalen Jackson scored 25 points and came one rebound short of his first career double-double. Rasheed Bello filled up the scoresheet thanks to 23 points, four rebounds, two blocks, two steals and two assists. The senior went 10-for-10 from the free throw line, all in the final four minutes of the game as he helped turn a 61-all-game with 4:17 left to a five-point victory.
The biggest exclamation point of the final minutes came on a thunderous two-handed slam by Deangelo Elisee after the 'Dons broke Milwaukee's pressure on the other end of the court. Elisee had multiple key plays in the contest, including a battle for an offensive board which won the crowd's praise.
Bello (2), Elisee (2), Corey Hadnot II (2), Chandler Cuthrell (2), Jackson (1) and Trey Lewis (1) combined for the 10-block performance.
Lewis had six points off the bench and was the only Mastodon to make more than one 3-pointer in the game. The 3-point loving 'Dons pulled away in the second half from Milwaukee with the aid of only one ball from long range.
Quinton Morton-Robertson scored five points and went over 1,000 points for his NCAA career.
Milwaukee shot 38.6 percent (27-of-70) with Themus Fulks owning a team-high 18 points. The 'Dons finished at 42.6 percent (26-of-61).
The Mastodons improve to 12-6 (5-2 Horizon League) and 8-0 at home this year.
Milwaukee falls to 11-6 (4-2 Horizon League). The 'Dons host Detroit Mercy on Saturday (Jan. 11).
