Purdue Basketball

As I mentioned earlier, I am a huge Purdue basketball fan. I realize I go to Ball State but I have followed Purdue Basketball for my whole life...and Ball State Basketball is not good, at all. Anyways, Purdue has started the season out great at 6-0, with 2 big wins over #12 Tennessee and Wake Forest in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. So far the absence of Lewis Jackson has not, seemingly, affected how Purdue has played. Looking at the rest of Purdue's non-conference schedule it looks very possible that the Boilers will make it to conference play undefeated, with maybe the toughest game left being at Alabama. With Wisconsin upsetting Duke (Previously ranked 5th in the nation) last night, and thus clinching the Big Ten's first victory in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge, Purdue will probably take Duke's number 5 spot in the country in the latest rankings. With Michigan State losing rather convincingly to N.C. and Purdue being the last undefeated team left in the conference, it is looking more and more like Purdue is going to be the team to beat in the Big 10, which also may just be the best basketball conference in the nation this year. BTFU!
