Does everyone feel better after Thursday night? I certainly do. Purdue still started slow, had issues with turnovers, and had an opposing player go off, but won over an NCAA caliber team by 17 points. The Boilers got it done thanks to Rapheal Davis emerging as an offensive threat, A.J. Hammons being A.J. Hammons, and hitting some timely threes.
Then you think about it, Purdue has a pretty simple formula for winning. They are most likely going to hold a team under 70 points. Only two teams, Butler and Vermont got over 70 in the first 16 games of the year.
