Most Big Ten stars coming back after flirting with NBA draft

Purdue fans had the biggest reason to celebrate Saturday as both JaJuan Johnson and E'Twaun Moore decided to return for their senior seasons. With Johnson, Moore and Robbie Hummel, Purdue was a favorite to go to the Final Four before Hummel tore his ACL late last season.
