So basically, Minnesota was more efficient, Purdue had bigger big plays, Minnesota was slightly lucky from a turnovers perspective, and Minnesota created one more scoring chance. Purdue was better in the first quarter, things were about even in the second and third, and Minnesota was better in the fourth.
