Purdue displayed fluent ball movement with cuts to the basket resulting in easy buckets and...

How Travis Carroll got his “Tacos” nickname and how he feels about it
Purdue Boilermakers forward Travis Carroll has an interesting nickname, and an interesting backstory to how he earned that nickname. Because nicknames can only be earned, you cannot give yourself one.

Painter looks to carve out new niche for Purdue
Matt Painter is turning Purdue into his kind of team.
Purdue's coach sees more versatility and more scorers. Last year's most promising freshmen, center A.J. Hammons and point guard Ronnie Johnson, are on the verge of becoming centerpieces for the future. Practices are more competitive and there's a renewed emphasis on rebounding and defense.
