  "account": "Daniel Jacobsen led Purdue to a 76-59 victory over Illinois State, marking the Boilermakers' first win of the season. Jacobsen contributed 20 points to the win. The Boilermakers never trailed throughout the game, shooting 56.5% from the field and 41.4% from beyond the arc. In contrast, Illinois State started the game poorly, shooting just 21.7% from the field (10 of 46). Antione West Jr. added 17 points for Purdue, while Jack Benter and C.J. Cox chipped in with 14 and 10 points, respectively. Illinois State's Johnny Kinziger and Noah Cleveland both scored 12 points. West's three-pointer at the end of the first half provided Purdue with a 36-28 halftime lead. Purdue extended their lead with a 17-0 run late in the game, sealing the win. Illinois State will next host North Dakota State on Friday.",
