CANCUN, Mexico -- Isaac Haas is feeling it.If the Purdue center has the ball in his hands, its either going right through the hoop or hes kicking it out to one of his sharpshooting teammates waiting on the perimeter to do the same.Haas scored 26 points and Dakota Mathias added 25, both career highs, as No. 17 Purdue beat Utah State 85-64 in the Cancun Challenge on Tuesday night.Haas and Mathias took over in the second half, when they combined for 32 points on 12-of-13 shooting to help the Boilermakers (3-1) pull away after leading 39-27 at halftime. Mathias shot 6 of 7 on 3-pointers and Purdue made 11 from beyond the arc.We were able to take those shots and whenever they were letting us have it in the post, we were scoring in the post and they just didnt really have an answer for it, Haas said.Alexis Dargenton led Utah State (3-1) with 14 points and nine rebounds. Julion Pearre added 10 points.Caleb Swanigan had 15 points and made the Boilermakers second 3 for a 19-7 lead, their biggest of the first half, with 11:43 to play. The Aggies chipped away and cut Purdues lead to 28-27 on a layup from Jalen Moore with 4:16 to go, but the Boilermakers closed the half with 11 consecutive points and leaned on Mathias and Haas to pull away in the second.DEFENSE FIRSTMathias checked out of the game with a few minutes left to big high-fives from his teammates. While they cheered his scoring effort from outside, Mathias was more excited about his defense. He had six rebounds and two of the teams seven steals.We just keep making strides and getting better in that area, Purdue coach Matt Painter said. Weve just got to be able to get strings of stops and put them together.GIANT BATTLENorbert Janicek did all he could to try and use his 6-foot-11 frame to slow the 7-foot-2 Haas. Janicek played Haas physically and fouled out with just more than 9 minutes left as a result. Quinn Taylor replaced Janicek, and Haas scored 13 more points in that matchup.He just overwhelms people at times, Mathias said. I think every game hes fouled out somebody or multiple people, so they go through two or three different guys down low. He finishes through contact, so he was great today.AT THE LINEHaas and Swanigan combined to make 16 of 20 free throws. The Aggies combined to attempt 14.We didnt take away their inside play and we let their guards, especially Mathias, make way too many shots, Utah State coach Tim Duryea said. Defensively, foul trouble hurt us and offensively we forced some things and tried too hard at times and that made our shot selection suffer and our turnovers go up.THE BIG PICTUREPurdue: The Boilermakers arrived in Mexico with plenty of issues after an emotional loss to defending national champion Villanova followed by a shaky performance in a 64-56 win over Georgia State after trailing by 12. The Panthers beat the Boilermakers on the glass and stymied their 3-point shooters before Purdue ripped off a 20-point run.

Masterson (12-7), an American League All-Star, struck out eight and allowed five hits in 7 2-3 innings. He shut down the Rangers and beat Darvish (9-5), who struck out 11 and held the Indians to three hits in six innings. Masterson knew runs would be tough to come by. "I was thinking, OK lets keep going, maybe one an inning, that would be great," Masterson said. "I knew that probably wouldnt happen with Yu out there, the great pitcher that he is." Darvishs only mistake came on his second pitch when Bourn hit a line drive that barely cleared the wall in right field. The home run was hit in Bourns first career at-bat against the Texas ace.

"Wow, that was impressive on both sides," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "Thats a tough game to win."

But we couldnt hit Masterson, either." The Rangers have lost 11 of 14 and are 2-7 since the All-Star break.

The other two were complete game performances against the Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees. "The great thing about the 1-0 games is they go quick," he said. "Everyones pretty happy about that. Its just nice. You feel like youre getting out there. Sometimes that helps keep that rhythm you have."

Darvish leads the majors with 172 strikeouts and has reached double figures seven times this season. Darvish, who threw 123 pitches, has failed to last seven innings in six straight starts. He has lost both starts to Cleveland this season. Bourn took an aggressive approach after taking Darvishs first pitch for a ball. "I didnt want him to get ahead too deep into the count," Bourn said. "I know how tough he is." Darvish took control after Bourns homer, striking out the side in the second and fanning two batters in the third, fourth and fifth. Cabrera reached third with two outs in the fourth, but Jason Giambi struck out. Jason Kipnis bid for a leadoff homer in the sixth fell a couple of feet short as Cruz made the catch in front of the right field wall.
