This week;s college basketball poll is out and Purdue is in the AP Poll for a 40th straight week, the 6th longest active streak behind Kansas, Arizona, Villanova, North Carolina, and Kentucky. Purdue even moves up one spot this week to No. 19.
Purdue basically flipped spots this week with northwestern, who struggled at home with Loyola-IL over the weekend. There were no such struggles with Purdue, as it won both games by a combined 100 points and the 69-point (nice) win over Chicago State was the largest victory of the modern era of Purdue Basketball. the only game where Purdue ever won by more was on January 10th, 1911 when we completely destroyed Indiana State 112-6.
