WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. —The Purdue Boilermakers looked like they had Hawaii on their minds during the first half against Oakland, Mich.

The 21st-ranked Boilermakers shot poorly and were sloppy with the ball for 20 minutes, yet somehow still led by 10 points at the break in their last game before heading west for the Waikiki Beach Marriott Classic. The Boilermakers recovered and dominated the second half in a 68-40 win on Sunday afternoon.

Purdue coach Sharon Versyp took responsibility for the team looking ragged. She said she made practices more challenging to prepare her players for the trip. Purdue will play No. 8 Stanford in its opener on Friday.

"We went very, very hard this week," Versyp said. "I did that because we're going to Hawaii this week, playing three games. Everybody can say the kids might have looked tired a little bit. We pushed them exceptionally hard."

Oakland didn't have any reason to look ahead — all the Golden Grizzlies have upcoming is a home game against Siena on Tuesday. But Oakland looked even sloppier than the Boilermakers.

"It was an ugly game," Oakland coach Beckie Francis said. "I feel bad for the fans."

Purdue dominated the second half. The Boilermakers made 63 percent of their shots after the break, while Oakland connected on just 25 percent.

"We were just rushing," Purdue forward Lindsay Wisdom-Hylton said. "We just saw opportunity and we really needed to slow down and take our time. Once we settled in, we were successful."

Danielle Campbell had 13 points and nine rebounds, FahKara Malone had 10 points, eight assists, six rebounds and four steals, and Wisdom-Hylton added eight points, seven rebounds and five steals for the Boilermakers (3-0).

Brittany Carnago and April Kidd each scored eight points for Oakland (2-2).

Purdue led 26-16 at halftime, then the Boilermakers opened the second half with a 7-2 run, highlighted by a 3-pointer by Malone, to take a 33-18 lead. Purdue's lead reached 30 points on a basket by Chantel Poston with 4:46 remaining.

Though the game was ugly at times, Versyp liked what she saw. She respects Oakland, which was coming off a 64-61 loss to a Georgia team that had been receiving votes for the Top 25.

"Oakland is a very well-coached, very disciplined, very smart team," Versyp said. "I have a lot of respect for their coach. They're a very, very solid team."

Instead of worrying about statistics, Purdue focused on the bottom line, and the position it now is in heading into the tournament.

"The goal was to come out of this 3-0, and with good, solid victories," Malone said. "I think we did that."
