c.j. Cox's Career Night Carries No. 15 Purdue Past Northwestern
C.J. Cox scored a career-high 27 points to lead Purdue's comeback from an 11-point deficit, with Braden Smith adding nine assists and sealing the win with late free throws.
- On March 4, 2026, Purdue men's basketball rallied to beat Northwestern 70-66 at Welsh-Ryan Arena, with Cox scoring 27 points and hitting a go-ahead 3 with 48 seconds left.
- Ahead of the matchup, Purdue men's basketball struggled with pregame inconsistency and full-game performance concerns after a 5:47 scoring drought.
- C.J. Cox provided the offensive spark by making four 3-pointers and posting a team-leading plus-18 box plus-minus.
- Purdue's late poise produced tangible effects, exorcising Welsh-Ryan Arena demons and halting a slipping run, but whether final-minute execution erases full-game issues remains unclear.
- Looking toward the regular-season finale, Purdue has one game remaining Saturday against Wisconsin to elevate into tournament play, but turnovers and points off turnovers remain a concern.
