Last night Purdue's Robbie Hummel ended his night with a career best 25 points and 8 rebounds, he was also 50% on 3 pointers. Hummel started off slow in the first half scoring only five points and he was only 2 for 7 from the field, compared to his performance in the second half where he scored 20 points and was 5 for 6 from the field.
The Boilermakers played the Indiana State Sycamores last night the game was pretty intense, but the Boilermakers came out with the win beating the Sycamores 76-62. This really isn't that big of a shocker if you look at the Sycamores current record, they are 1-8 so far this season and have lost six straight games against ranked opponents.
Indiana State led in the opening minutes of the game a layup by Sycamore guard Tyler Cutter gave them a 20-17 lead which then forced a Purdue timeout. After the timeout Purdue came out strong with an 8-0 run a Robbie Hummel 3 pointer gave the Boilers a 25-20 lead. By the end of the half the Boilermakers extended their lead to 37-30. The Boiler defense wasn't at its best in last nights game especially when you look at their last two games, they held Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Ball State to less than 25 points per half. Then in the second half Purdue went on a 13-0 run which created some distance for Purdue.
However after all that Purdue head coach Matt Painter wasn't impressed with his teams performance saying that throughout the season his team has been "hit and miss" and he puts last nights performance under the miss section. Overall I feel that Purdue did an aright job las night they played a lot better in the second half which was when Robbie Hummel found his rhythm and the team overall played better.
