FORT WAYNE, Ind. - In front of a crowd of over 10,000, the Purdue Fort Wayne men's basketball team played host to the Purdue Boilermakers in an exhibition contest at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum on Thursday (Oct. 22).
The crowd of 10,141 was the second-best crowd for a Mastodon game in program history, best-ever in an exhibition contest. Purdue topped the Mastodons 92-62.
Purdue Fort Wayne played the game all Mastodon fans already know. The 'Dons shot 50 percent from the field in the first half, taking 14 attempts from 3-point range. They converted on five of those deep balls. The 'Dons finished with eight 3-pointers by the final horn.
The Mastodons held close with the Boilermakers through the first 16 minutes, but Purdue had an 8-0 run that put them up 11 heading into the halftime break.
Purdue took advantage of a size discrepancy that allowed the Boilermakers to shoot 71.0 percent in the second half and ultimately pulled away.
Sophomore EJ Mosley was the leading scorer for the Mastodons with 16 points. Carl Thompson III added 10 points and four rebounds in his collegiate debut.
Both the Mastodons and the Boilermakers remain 0-0 after the exhibition game.
Purdue Fort Wayne will head to Muncie on Wednesday (Oct. 28) for their second and final tuneup of the preseason at Ball State.
