Purdue Women's Basketball wins season opener

Played at mackey arena... tonight was the return of the mack... as purdue women's basketball hosted north alabama... masks on for family members inside mackey... rowdy cardboard crowd tonight... purdue opening its season with the 0-2 lions... they roared early..

Up 3-2 jaila roberts assists alexis callins... she's good to go from deep..

One of two threes on the night.... later, purdue down 2.

Rickie woltman... sophomore sensation... that 6-4 frame helps her get buckets... purdue trails by 2... ball barely stays in... olivia knight gets the second chance and the score... 10 points for double 0's moments later purdue leads by 5.... janelle grant gets the long two jumper... and the crowd goes wild!

Or not... move to the third frame... brooke moore dishes.... tamarah farquhar drills it... 19 points for her on keady court... the team captains had a great night... kayana traylor.... euro step swish... purdue leads 50-40... head coach sharon versyp likes what she sees... no karissa mclaughlin, no cassidy hardin.... and the boilers are just fine fatoo deeanee.... you can't teach size!

With her own rebound.... and the foul... purdue wins by a lot, 80-69... coach versyp says the boilers are just getting started... sharon versyp:well the first thing is north alabama...this is their third game and this is our first game and the first time you're playing in front of no one and just kind of the jitters and just getting acclimated.

I just told them at half time we're in good shape, i told them we got to do a little better on the defensive end...offense you guys have got to start clicking, start flowing.hitting your jumpshots, hitting a couple of threes.

I was pleased with 15 turnovers to 14 assists so you know we did some really good things and i thought we shared the ball better the second half... alright over to the nfl...
