Purdue Wins B1G Women's Tourney

The Big Ten's No. 4 seed outlasted its No. 6 seed in a wild championship game to win the Big Ten tournament championship Sunday, 74-70.

Purdue, led by KK Houser's 19 points, used its unlikely hero (KK) to win an unlikely championship, over an even more unlikely opponent (Nebraska).

Nebraska finally succumbed to defeat after riding a wave of hot shooting and timely defense to the championship game in Indianapolis. Nebraska's 1-2 punch of Lindsey Moore and Jordan Hooper poured in 27 and 25 points respectively, but it wasn't enough to beat the depth of Purdue.

Purdue will earn the Big Ten's automatic NCAA tournament berth.
