- Nathan Baird, IndyStar: “More than the final score, Purdue left Kentucky disappointed in its defensive and rebounding efforts. It should be able to dominate both.”
- Sam King, Journal & Courier: “Purdue won’t shoot as poorly as it did at Kentucky (perhaps all season). Real worries after Friday revolve around Purdue’s defense. Seeing Purdue better in halfcourt D and being better on the boards is necessary before the regular season begins.”
