Eric Canha-Imagn Images With the Purdue game coming up today it’s time to put the staff on record as to who they think will win the first round matchup between the High Point Panthers and of course of beloved Purdue Boilermakers. Ledman:It has to be Purdue. I’m tired of the talking heads including folks on CBS, NBC, ESPN, basically everywhere, taking High Point and pointing out that Purdue has a history of losing to double digit seeds.

Craig Strobeck-Imagn Images The Purdue Boilermakers grabbed one of the most important victories of their season by defeating the Oregon Ducks 65-58 to move to 7-1 in the conference ahead of three straight home games at Mackey Arena. It was unfortunately another offensive struggle with the Boilers shooting just 19-56 (33.9%) and 2-12 (16.7%) from behind the arc, but defense always travels on the road.

Matthew O’Haren-Imagn Images The Purdue Boilermakers will make the short trip from the University of Washington to Eugene to take on the Oregon Ducks in a big game that could very well vault Purdue into being considered at the forefront of the B1G title race. That’s something that may sound a bit odd considering the Boilers have won two consecutive outright titles, but the Boilers could potentially run their early season conference record to 7-1 with a 4-1 record in away games.

Steven Bisig-Imagn Images Caleb Furst may have played the best of his career as a Boilermaker at the right time for a struggling team against the Washington Huskies to keep Purdue afloat in the first half. The lone senior for the Boilers grabbed a career high 15 points along with 6 rebounds, 4 steals (also a career high), and an emphatic block to wipe away a layup. It has been his insertion into the starting lineup, paired with CJ Cox, that has led to a turnaround for the season.

Alex Martin/Journal and Courier / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images With campus coming back alive as students start classes tomorrow, the Purdue Boilermakers welcomed every back with a dominating B1G victory of the Nebraska Cornhuskers 104-68. A game that had Purdue favored by 8.5 points before tip quickly became a game that was going to be dominated by Purdue, but it was the first game in which the young players really came together and played well at the same time.

Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images Piscataway has been a source of frustration as of late for the Purdue Boilermakers as they had struggled against the Rutgers Scarlett Knights more often than not over the last several years. This year, however, the Boilers played even keeled against a very young but talented team to grab an 68-50 victory in an important road game. The shooting from behind the arc was a horror show of it’s own though.
