Amir Coffey matched his career with 32 points, making two free throws with 2.5 seconds left to seal Minnesota’s 73-69 victory over No. 11 Purdue.

Carsen Edwards scored 22 points for Purdue, but he needed 31 shots to get there and finished just 3 for 15 from 3-point range. Jordan Murphy had 13 points and 14 rebounds for the Gophers in his final scheduled home game.
