What we've been able to glean from No. 24 Purdue men's basketball's closed scrimmage with No. 13 West Virginia in Columbus, Ohio, today:

• West Virginia "won" 95-89. Purdue rallied back after scoring only 34 first-half points. Purdue started Carsen Edwards, Ryan Cline, Nojel Eastern, Grady Eifert and Matt Haarms. Seemed like a safe assumption for a season-opening five but seems likely we'll see more fluctuations there than last season.

• Cline scored 27 for Purdue, and Edwards scored 22. Eifert collected 13 points, six rebounds and five assists.

Purdue basketball later confirmed Cline hit seven 3-pointers. Per a partial box score floating around online, Purdue made 12 of 32 (37.5 percent), though Cline obviously comprised a significant portion of that. Eric Hunter and Aaron Wheeler combined to go 0 of 6. As a team the Boilermakers made 2 of 15 from 3 before halftime and 10 of 17 after.

Purdue shot 21 of 32 at the free throw line (65.6 percent). That included a 1-for-4 from Evan Boudreaux, which is not consistent with his career 76.7 percent mark at Dartmouth (including 82.8 percent as a freshman).

• West Virginia big man Sagaba Konate did not play. Mountaineers coach Bob Huggins said earlier this week at Big 12 media day that Konate had been held out of practice with a minor injury that he did not expect would threaten the start of his season. Beetle Bolden also DNP for West Virginia.

That's unfortunate for both teams, because the Boilermakers would certainly have benefited from that matchup. Konate is a big-time rebounder and shot blocker and assertive scorer around the basket.

• Purdue turned the ball over 24 times against a West Virginia team that thrives on pressure. Mountaineers apparently turned it over 18 times. I'm also told the Boilermakers won the rebounding battle 39-27, including 18 offensive rebounds. That partial box score had Evan Boudreaux with seven though I'm not sure if he led Purdue.

• Both Trevion Williams and Emmanuel Dowuona played for Purdue, but only for a combined five minutes in the first half. The freshmen can play in these scrimmages and Thursday's exhibition against Marian while Matt Painter decides what to do re: redshirting. Still seems likely that one of them sits out this year, and it's possible whoever does not could use a redshirt next season.

Sasha Stefanovic did not play as he is not cleared from the concussion protocol.

• Looks like WVU's Esa Ahmad scored 20 points on 7 of 14 shooting.
