It's not often you find the future in a 37 point drubbing at home against your arch rival, but during a disappointing 2013 campaign, that's exactly what Purdue did.
It's not often, amidst a barrage of points against us and a complete decimation in the form of a 97-60 Indiana on Purdue crime, that you leave the arena with a smile, but if you were there in person - I bought a pair of tickets for my friend's birthday - you found a reason to smile despite that lopsided score. Half of those measly 60 points had come at the hands of one lone player, a gigantic center with surprisingly soft hands who would befuddle and confuse Purdue fans for the next three years, showing sparks of brilliance and fires of lethargic dissonance that culminated in continuous trips to Coach Matt Painter's doghouse.
