Iowa routs fth-ranked Purdue on road, 88-69

IOWA CITY (AP) - Kent McCausland scored 16 points and Ricky Davis and Ryan Bowen each had 14 yesterday as Iowa used torrid shooting to down No. 5 Purdue, 88-69, snapping the Boilermakers' seven-game winning streak.

Kyle Galloway, making his second straight start, scored 12 points for Iowa (7-6 Big Ten, 18-8 overall), which defeated Purdue for the fourth straight time.

Brian Cardinal scored 17 points, Brad Miller 15 and Chad Austin 12 for the Boilermakers (10-3, 22-5), who dropped 1 1/2 games behind conference leader Michigan State with three games remaining in the regular season.

Purdue, which had won 11 of its previous 12 contests, trailed 19-4 - the same deficit it had overcome to defeat Illinois, 75-72, last Saturday.

But the Hawkeyes, who started three freshmen in Davis, Galloway and Dean Oliver for the second straight game, kept up the pressure on the Boilermakers.
