SEATTLE — No. 17 Purdue shook off poor first-half shooting and a rash of turnovers Wednesday night to rally back from an eight-point halftime hole to win at Washington, 69-58.

After trailing 30-22 at halftime, the Boilermakers opened the second by forcing four straight turnovers and scoring the half’s first seven points. Later, a run of 10 straight points, fueled by Trey Kaufman-Renn, provided the cushion the visitors rode to their third Big Ten road win.
