Boilers Win Big in Happy Valley

First of all, while I was lying in bed trying to get motivated to get up and get in the shower, they were talking on the radio about -32 with the wind chill today. Why I live in Chicago I have no idea.

Anyhow, the Boilers had a huge win last night against the Geary Claxton-less Nittnay Lions. Purdue has been a team of runs so far this season, whether it's the good side of a 15-0 run or the bad side. At one point, 5 minutes into the 1st half, the score was tied at 9. At the half, it was 42-18! Nothing like a 32-9 run to get things going.

Robbie Hummel played another excellent game with 15 points and 11 boards, including 3 from 3-point land. E'Tuan and Calasan both added 11 and the Boilers shot 11-25 from behind the arc. It's fun to see a Purdue team shoot this well for a change.

On another note, IU played real well again beating Iowa by 22. Eric Gordon is real good. It will be nice to not have to deal with him next season.
