WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- ?If No. 15 Purdue continues to shoot 3-pointers with the accuracy it did Saturday against Morehead State, the Boilermakers will have the potential for a special season.Freshman guard Carsen Edwards scored 16 points, and Purdue made 15 of 29 attempts from 3-point range -- 11 in the first half -- on the way to a 90-56 victory.When you look at their big men (Caleb Swanigan and Isaac Haas), you kind of have to start there, but you learn quickly that Purdue is a very balanced team, Morehead State acting head coach Preston Spradlin said. When defending them, you have to pick your poison.The Boilermakers (6-2), coming off a Wednesday loss at No. 14 Louisville in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, used a 15-0 first-half run to stretch a 10-9 lead to 25-9, and Purdue continued to pull away.Dakota Mathias added 14 points, Swanigan and P.J. Thompson had 13 each for Purdue and the 7-foot-2 Haas had 11 points and five rebounds.Miguel Dicent had 11 points for Morehead State (2-5), which played without coach Sean Woods, who has been suspended with pay since Nov. 22, when the university launched an official investigation into Woods treatment of players.Purdue made 11 of 20 from 3-point range during the first half when it built a 47-25 lead. Carsen Edwards, who made his first start in place of slumping Vince Edwards, and Mathias made four 3-pointers each in the first half.There are a lot of people on the team who are able to shoot the ball, Carsen Edwards said. The shots were falling today, and people were hot, so we tried to keep getting the ball to the hot hand and keep making shots.Thompson said that the 6-8 Swanigan, who had nine rebounds, and Haas always will be the focus of the Purdue offense.The bigs are our bread and better, said Thompson, who was 3 of 5 from 3-point range. We definitely want to work inside-out. It looks like the more we get the ball inside, the easier it is for us shooters, because (Swanigan and Haas) get so much attention with double teams. Then, we get wide open 20-footers.Purdue coach Matt Painter was most pleased that the Boilermakers, who had been averaging 15.7 turnovers, were guilty of only nine Saturday, including three during the final 20 minutes.We have been emphasizing turnovers the whole season, and today really was no different in terms of how other teams have played us defensively, Painter said. We also have had people not zone us, and we still have had turnovers. Today was a good sign that we bounced back after a loss on the road (at Louisville) and played well.The Boilermakers played without fifth-year graduate student transfer point guard Spike Albrecht, who suffered a back injury in a Nov. 18 victory against Georgia State and battled through the pain in the Louisville game. Painter said Albrecht is out indefinitely.BIG PICTUREMorehead State: With Woods suspended indefinitely, the Eagles are a distracted basketball team, and it shows as their losing streak reached five on Saturday, including 0-3 for acting coach Spradlin.Purdue: Its a byproduct of opposing defenses centering their attention on Boilermaker big men Swanigan and Haas, but Purdue entered this game leading the Big Ten in 3-point field goal shooting percentage at 41.8 and made 55 percent from beyond the arc during the opening half on Saturday.POLL IMPLICATIONSWhile it did not play well until late in the game Wednesday at No. 14 Louisville, Purdue has a chance to move up in the next AP Top 25 after playing very well in Saturdays 34-point victory. Only 2016 NCAA champion Villanova and 2013 NCAA champ Louisville have beaten the Boilermakers.LINEUP CHANGEWith junior forward Vince Edwards struggling, Painter inserted freshman guard Carsen Edwards -- no relation to Vince -- into Saturdays starting lineup, and the first-year player made 6 of 12 shots, including 4 of 7 from 3-point range.He gave us some additional quickness, Painter said of Carsen Edwards. He can drive and shoot it. Sometimes, you are just searching for things at this time of the season. Vince and Carsen will continue to play a lot.UP NEXTMorehead State: The Eagles do not play until going to Lipscomb on Dec. 10.Purdue: The Boilermakers travel to New York City for a Tuesday night game against Arizona State in the Jimmy V.

Gloucestershire 212 for (Klinger 95*, Cockbain 69*) beat Essex 182 (Howell 3-28) 30 runsScorecard Michael Klinger hit 95 as Gloucestershire closed in on a home tie in the NatWest T20 Blast quarter-finals with a 30-run South Group victory over Essex at Cheltenham.The group leaders posted 212 for 1 on the small College Ground, Klinger receiving excellent support from Hamish Marshall and Ian Cockbain, whose unbeaten 65 came off just 35 balls.In reply, Essex made 182 for 9, Dan Lawrence top-scoring with 35 and Benny Howell taking 3 for 28 from his four overs.The result took Gloucestershire to 19 points from 13 games, while Essex remain on ten with work to do in their final four group fixtures to reach the knockout stage.Marshall, in his final Cheltenham Festival before leaving Gloucestershire at the end of the season, was the initial aggressor in an opening stand of 75 with Klinger that occupied 8.4 overs.Marshall had faced 28 balls, hitting seven boundaries when driving a return catch to Ravi Bopara. It was the only Essex success as Cockbain joined Klinger in an unbroken partnership of 137 in 11.2 overs, which delighted the 5,000 sell-out crowd.Klinger reached his half-century with a reverse sweep for four off Bopara, having faced 41 deliveries, but it was Cockbain, who produced the more explosive hitting.The consistent No. 3 batsman hit the first six of the game off Ashar Zaidi and went on to smash three more maximums and 6 fours, reaching his halff-century off just 28 balls.ddddddddddddEssex were unable to protect the short boundaries on both sides of the pitch as Klinger began to match his partner shot for shot. By the end of the innings the Gloucestershire captain had hit 13 fours and two sixes in his 57-ball knock.The visitors reply began badly when Matt Taylor bowled Kishen Velani for a duck in the first over and followed up by having Tom Westley caught at mid-wicket off a miscued pull shot with the total on 18 at the end of the third over.Nick Browne hit a big six over midwicket off Liam Norwell, but the Essex woes continued when Bopara was caught at short third-man off Howell and Ryan ten Doeschate was run out by Klingers throw to the wicketkeeper as Browne attempted a quick single to mid-wicket.It looked a very close call and ten Doeschate stood still for several second before angrily swishing his bat and walking off. At the end of the six-over Powerplay the visitors were 46 for 4.Browne was caught at deep mid-wicket off Howell to make it 58 for 5 in the eighth over. At the halfway stage of their innings Essex still required 131.Lawrence, dropped on 21, looked dangerous until, on 36, he lofted Graeme van Buurens left-arm spin to Cockbain at long-on. And when Zaidi was bowled by Howell aiming a big hit it was 122 for 7, with the contest as good as over. ' ' '
