In a highly contentious game, Purdue and Northwestern went into overtime with Purdue eventually winning 105-96. The game was marked by a significant discrepancy in free throw attempts, with Purdue having 46 and Northwestern only 8. Zach Edey scored 10 of his 30 points in overtime, leading Purdue to victory. Northwestern's coach, Chris Collins, was ejected from the game, and later fined and reprimanded by the Big Ten for unsportsmanlike behavior.

Big Ten has fined Northwestern $5,000 and given Chris Collins a reprimand for his unsportsmanlike behavior. If the Big Ten had read my story, they’d have made it worse. I like Chris Collins, but the hypocrisy is rich. https://t.co/fnvtVCMOEB
Northwestern coach Chris Collins was handed a $5,000 fine and public reprimand from the Big Ten on Friday for violating the league's sportsmanship policy at the end of the Wildcats' overtime loss to No. 2 Purdue. https://t.co/F3EoHyS77b
Chris Collins Gets The Ejection Of The Year And Possibly The Decade https://t.co/eMiWqVlxZ3
Everybody was angry. Braden Smith about the Cousy snub. Chris Collins about the free-throw disparity. But Purdue fans went home happy. https://t.co/PbL6Bp5GbX

Here's my story about Purdue vs Northwestern - really, a story about Purdue vs anyone who thinks the Boilers are helped by officials. Chris Collins is right - Purdue has an edge. But Purdue has earned that edge, and Collins should know better than anyone. https://t.co/XoSWTd2z4l https://t.co/GCWm18Gxj6
Chris Collins with an all-time meltdown (and rightfully so). Love the interaction with the Purdue bench. Can’t imagine having Northwestern +8 though https://t.co/Dx0IG4aPJJ
Doug Collins with an all-time meltdown (and rightfully so). Love the interaction with the Purdue bench. Can’t imagine having Northwestern +8 though https://t.co/Dx0IG4aPJJ
Purdue shot 46 free throws. Northwestern 8. Virtually impossible. https://t.co/67EwO4N5A5
Northwestern coach Chris Collins stopped short of criticizing the referees, but he did acknowledge a 38-shot difference in free throw attempts played a key role in the Wildcats' 105-96 overtime loss to No. 2 Purdue on Wednesday. https://t.co/rCGCHbzgdC
Thought Purdue got a friendly whistle a few times, especially late when Jones was stuck in the corner and hooked the defender. They earned plenty of trips to the FT line, but 46-8 is the biggest disparity in a big ten game in at least 25 years. I could understand Collins rage. https://t.co/ad4tsPDc7u
Zach Edey scored 10 of his 30 points in overtime and Lance Jones had a season-high of 26 to lead No. 2 Purdue past Northwestern in a 105-96 win on Wednesday night. https://t.co/mJmFkn9SHT

Purdue squeaks out a win against Northwestern, but the best part? Chris Collins’ ejection!!! https://t.co/WIvEz6NXUh
Purdue, with an offensively unstoppable and defensively terrifying big man in 7-4 Zach Edey, *should* shoot a lot more free throws than Northwestern. Especially the way the Wildcats played this particular game. And Chris Collins should know that. https://t.co/XoSWTd2z4l
This physically dominant outlier of a Purdue team has earned its lopsided edge at the foul line, and Northwestern's Chris Collins should know that better than anybody. Remember how it was when you were at Duke, Chris? I do. I was there, too. https://t.co/XoSWTd2z4l

Purdue had 38 more free throw ATTEMPTS than Northwestern (46-8). Any coach should get a free tech or two in that circumstance. https://t.co/GGNN4cUnOK
Purdue. Free throws. Fouls. The discrepancy. Northwestern coach Chris Collins' fury. I've got a lot to say, and it comes from the perspective of 30 years of writing about college basketball. Purdue folks, you'll want to read this. Everyone else? You NEED to read it. #columncoming

Heck of a fight by Northwestern. Heck of a win by Purdue. I love you college basketball.
Purdue had 42 free throw attempts, Northwestern had eight. And still almost pulled it off. This is easily the best Northwestern men's basketball team ever, right? (Low bar, I realize, but still!)

Northwestern has no one to guard Edey. He's scored all 10 points in OT for #Purdue
Free Basketball in West Lafayette. Purdue and Northwestern heading to OT. Northwestern is 13-24 from 3 tonight. Wildcats were 10-20 from 3 in the first meeting this season. https://t.co/TNrGokazWk
Northwestern and Purdue are going to OT. Wildcats going for the season sweep and three straight over peak Purdue. Crazy
The Boilers taken 26 (!) more free throws than Northwestern. And missed 14 of them.
Northwestern on verge of sweeping Purdue. Wildcats up 81-80 with 33 seconds left at Mackey. Zach Edey with 19 and 11, but has struggled at the line going 5-12. Career 71 percent shooter at the charity stripe.
Tight one at Mackey. Purdue 78, Northwestern 78 1:30
