Bumpy Boilers

So what's wrong with the Boilers, who have followed a 14-game winning streak (the longest of Painter's tenure) with a three-game losing streak (their first in four years)? For one, "We've gotten outrebounded in five straight games," Painter said. That's a stat worth watching: Purdue is 36-1 under Painter when it wins the turnover and rebounding battles. What's not wrong with the Boilers: Robbie Hummel (career-high 35 points against Ohio State) and E'Twaun Moore (Big Ten's leading scorer in conference games, 21.2 ppg).
