Purdue University NCAA News

Continuing his success in Indiana and the Midwest, Purdue basketball coach Matt Painter today signed a nationally ranked recruiting class that includes three Indiana players and one from Chicago.

As special as Purdue's wins against Ohio State and Michigan were, the Boilermakers' year could have been much more impressive.

Purdue men's basketball coach Matt Painter has never had depth like this before.

Robbie Hummel scored 14 points to help No. 7 Purdue beat Kentucky Wesleyan 74-52 on Monday night in its final exhibition game.

It's time for Purdue to stop messing around, win its last two games, become bowl eligible and hope to spend the holiday season far from home.

Coach: Matt Painter Last season's record: 27-10 Spotlight player There are conflicting opinions about whether or not Robbie Hummel is an excellent pro prospect, which we can only hope developed as the result of the back injury that interrupted his sophomore season.

Joey Elliott threw for a career-high 367 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another to help Purdue rally past Michigan 38-36 Saturday, dealing a serious blow to the Wolverines' bowl hopes.

After an overtime loss to Illinois last December, Purdue junior Robbie Hummel was heartbroken and back-broken in the locker room.

There's no need hiding the fact that Purdue hasn't won in Michigan Stadium since 1966.

It looked like a misprint. The statistics jumped off the page and not in a favorable manner: 377 rushing yards, zero turnovers and two drives of 90 plus yards.

Purdue has had stretches of ineptitude this season, but nothing like the game's worth of ugliness last Saturday.

Wisconsin's offensive lines typically consist of big, tall, strong players who pose challenges for opposing defenses with their physical play.

After completing only five passes in a 37-0 loss at Wisconsin, Purdue quarterback Joey Elliott couldn't wait to practice Sunday.

Keaton Grant had 14 points and five steals, and the No. 7 Purdue Boilermakers beat California of Pennsylvania 78-44 in an exhibition game on Tuesday night.

Madison - At one point during the first half of the University of Wisconsin's stunning bludgeoning of Purdue Saturday afternoon at Camp Randall Stadium, an onlooker in the press box wondered aloud: "Are you sure Purdue beat Ohio State?" For the record and according to the Big Ten Conference, on Oct.

Tired of answering four weeks of questions, Wisconsin took its frustrations out early and often against streaking Purdue.

John Clay ran for 123 yards and three touchdowns and Wisconsin shut out a Big Ten opponent for the first time since 1999 to snap a two-game losing streak with a 37-0 victory over Purdue on Saturday.

Wisconsin's 5-0 start seems in the distant past. It even caught coach Bret Bielema by surprise when he was out recruiting during the Badgers' off week.

Perhaps the secret to NFL perfection is having a former Purdue quarterback on your roster.

The Badgers can still get to 10 wins, but after two straight losses and a week off.
