Purdue forward Robbie Hummel is used to hard work.
The senior captain of the Boilermakers missed two late free throws in what turned out to be a close win over High Point on Monday night. Hummel says it felt like a loss and he stayed late into the night practicing his free throws.
Hummel is back after missing last season with a knee injury, and the final few weeks of the year before that. His 3-pointer in the final minute Thursday gave Purdue a 91-90 victory over Iona in the opening round of the Puerto Rico Tip-Off.

Purdue senior Robbie Hummel was not imagining swinging the ball to a Ryne Smith or dumping it down low to Travis Carroll. After all the injuries and hard work to be back on the hardwood, he can’t see E’Twaun Moore or JuJuan Johnson anywhere insight. Their last season they played together They averaged 16.4, 15.7, 15.5 points a game respectively. This season it is all...

If we see this again, all bets are offWithout a doubt, the most difficult Big 10 team to put a finger on during the pre-season is the Purdue Boilermakers. To start, while they only lose two contributors from last year, they lose a ton of production. JaJuan Johnson was both the Big Ten Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the year, and a consensus first-team All-American, averaging...

It was a sloppy gun fight. Two teams more worried about attacking the other and less worried about defending themselves. The end result was a 91-90 Purdue win that could have just as easily ended in a loss.
Iona shot over 48% from the field and Purdue shot over 44%, including 48% from behind the arc. The rebounding margin was even at 41, but Purdue was able to force some extra possessions...
