PURDUE BOILERMAKERS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Video: Kelsey Barlow Posterizes Jared Sullinger
Kelsey Barlow is one of the most frustrating basketball players in Purdue history. He has flashes of greatness and flashes of awfulness. Tuesday night, he gave us one of the best dunks of the college basketball season.
Barlow drove the lane and threw the hammer down on Jared Sullinger. Sullinger tried to draw the charge but Barlow just went up and over him. It was extremely...

Purdue Boilermakers Tournament Resume: Strengths and Weaknesses
In our latest NCAA Tournament projection we have the Purdue Boilermakers as an #11 seed in the West Regional, out in Albuquerque. In other words, just a line or two above bubble status. And since February is pretty much here- time to think about who needs to shore up the old resume for selection time come March.
And given how dreadful the Boilers have been at Conseco Fieldhouse,...

(Guest post from Kevin Trahan)
On Saturday, he made sure he didn’t repeat that performance, sinking Northwestern with a tough floater with 8.1 seconds left en route to a 58-56 win.

BOILER UP
Purdue fans make rap video
For whatever reason, rap videos have become all the rage at colleges. Not watching them, mind you. Actually creating them and the popularity behind it is unbelievable. Last week, we saw the Georgia students make a video in an attempt to either embarrass themselves or intimidate LSU. This week, Purdue University takes charge with the new video “Boiler Up.”
Seriously...

There’s no mistaking A.J. Hamnons’ game. The 7′-0″, 260 pound center knows exactly who he is on the basketball court, a true center. It isn’t as if 7-footers with skills are growing on trees, and that group of basketball players are in high demand. Hammons, a native of Indiana at Oak Hill Academy (VA), will be returning to his home state for college...

Why Mizzou Was Duped Into Matt Painter Pursuit
In the aftermath of the Frank Haith hire, many Missouri basketball fans have pointed to Athletic Director Mike Alden’s inability to close the deal with Purdue’s Matt Painter as the moment the Mizzou coaching search officially went off the rails.
(Did former Mizzou staffer Paint Alden into a corner?)
But from what I’ve been told by multiple Missouri athletic...

Learning From the Matt Painter Saga
I admit to being completely fascinated with the Missouri-Matt Painter-Purdue triangle. Not simply because it strikes me almost as eerily similar to the Arizona State pursuit of Jamie Dixon a few years back, but also because of what it reveals about how the best coaches look beyond a mere cash grab.
On its face, Matt Painter even considering the Missouri job made no sense. Painter...

The decision couldn’t have been easy for Fort Wayne officials, who needed to cut Kramer because of injury. When he was first signed, the organization trumpeted him as the first local product to play for the team.
