Another win over a top ten team

And another career-high scoring night from a freshman. The Boilers keep rolling along. They also avenged their sole conference loss.

Would've been a great game to've watched. Kramer sounds like an awesome defender. This comment from a report on the game surprised me quite a bit: "It’s the first time in school history Purdue has beaten Top 10 teams in back-to-back games."

I like that they appear to be improving as the season goes along. That's a great sign.

If you visit their team page on ESPN, you can watch a little video about Robbie Hummel. It's pretty cool (and that's all the Purdue basketball I've been able to watch this year).

Look at their team scoring leaders. Freshman, freshman, sophomore, freshman, junior.

One thing that worries me is weakness on the boards. I only see one guy on the roster listed as a center, JuJuan Johnson, and he's a 'F-C'. (He, too, is a freshman.) Well, they do have a senior, so maybe the will recruit a big dude for that roster spot. :-D

From Pert's positive perspective I'd say it's not whether or not they'll win the championship, but how many.

Alternatively, maybe the new football coach can lend 'em help on the boards.

Despite the loss on the road to IU, I'm still pretty excited about this team and it's future.
