3 things that stood out from Purdue basketball's first win, beating Illinois State

WEST LAFAYETTE — Purdue men's basketball 's season-opening losing skid ended Monday with a 76-59 victory over Illinois State at Mackey Arena. Daniel Jacobsen scored 20 points and Antione West Jr. added 17 in his first career start . Jack Benter also started and chipped in 14 points while keying a game-changing second-half surge. Here are three things that stood out from Purdue's first win in three tries this season: Matt Painter shook up Purdue's starting lineup, saw immediate results After an 0-2 start, Matt Painter needed to find a spark on both offense and defense. He gave West his first career start and Benter his first start of the season. Omer Mayer and Gicarri Harris came off the bench. The shake-up worked early. Purdue made eight of its first 10 shots from the field and generally found a better offensive flow. It went into the under-16 timeout up 7-0. That shooting clip was unsustainable, but the offense also bogged down a bit. Some players are still working through new, expanded roles in real time. It the Redbirds had not shot a miserable 3-for-16 from 3, Purdue maybe doesn't lead 36-28 at halftime. Daniel Jacobsen's efficiency setting Purdue's offensive baseline
