\"nupurdue.jpg\"<\/span>Northwestern finally found some relief in the Big Ten with a\u00a072-64 victory against No. 6 Purdue on Saturday to prompt fans to storm the Welsh-Ryan Arena court.<\/p>\n

It was first victory in four tries that the Wildcats beat a ranked opponent at home this season.<\/p>\n

They did it with same late game heroics by Drew Crawford. <\/span><\/p>\n

With a one-point lead and about two minutes remaining, Crawford hit a three-pointer and on his next trip down the court came up with a three-point play by drawing a foul to provide Northwestern with a 64-57 lead. He was playing with four fouls at the time.<\/p>\n

Michael “Juice” Thompson led Northwestern with\u00a020 points.<\/p>\n

After winning 14 games in a row, Purdue is trying to figure out how they got off track with three straight losses.<\/p>\n

Northwestern led by as many as eight points, but most of the second half became a one-possession battle between Purdue and Northwestern.<\/p>\n

Purdue had to contend with center JaJuan Johnson’s and guard E’Twaun Moore’s foul trouble; Johnson picked up three before halftime and fouled out with less than four minute to play. Moore fouled out with about a minute remaining.<\/p>\n
