Last week Purdue knocked off #4 Kansas 3-1 for one of its biggest volleyball wins ever. This came merely a week after knocking off #9 Stanford on its home floor in a match where Purdue trailed 2-0. So far Purdue has proved it is a volleyball team much better than we originally though, and on the eve of Big Ten play starting tomorrow the nation is recognizing that with a top 10 ranking:
