Rapheal Davis and the Boilermakers are eager to take the court against some solid competition this weekend.
With 7-footer A.J. Hammons finally on the floor, Purdue and its imposing frontline embark on their first true test of the season.
The No. 21 Boilermakers look to continue their early success Saturday against undefeated Old Dominion in the semifinals of the Hall of Fame Tipoff at Uncasville, Connecticut.
Purdue (3-0) had little trouble rolling past North Carolina A&T, Vermont and Incarnate Word by an average of 34.7 points. The first two games came with Hammons, the team's top returning scorer and rebounder, out for reasons coach Matt Painter wouldn't divulge.
