WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Tara Daye and Madison Layden-Zay each scored 19 points, and Purdue defeated No. 23 Washington 78-72 in overtime on Sunday, overcoming a 13-point second-quarter deficit for their second consecutive come-from-behind win.

Washington led 33-20 with 6 minutes left in the second quarter and 38-30 at halftime. Purdue was within 56-55 with 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter before Washington's Elle Ladine scored the game's next seven points and the Huskies led 63-55 with 3:44 remaining.
The Huskies missed their next nine shots and didn't score again until 1:17 remained in overtime.
Daye, whose layup with 14 seconds left in the fourth quarter tied it up at 63, scored the first seven points of overtime and the Boilermakers led by at least five points for the remainder of the game.
Lana McCarthy had 14 points and 12 rebounds for her second-career double-double for Purdue (10-7, 2-4 Big Ten).

I also saw the videos. She did NOT hit the man and in fact was trying to leave the area. Do not tell me that I didn’t see what I saw.
