Purdue continues to set the standard in the Big Ten. After Tuesday night's win over Rutgers, the Boilermakers won their 72nd conference game in a five-year stretch, setting a new league record. The previous high was 71 victories, set by Indiana from 1974-78.

The 72 wins dates back to the 2020-2021 season for the Boilermakers. They still have one more regular season game to go, playing Illinois on Friday. Purdue could potentially get to 73 wins in a five-year span.

Purdue broke the record in style, too, obliterating Rutgers 100-71 at Mackey Arena in the home finale. Senior Caleb Furst also leaves as the program's all-time winningest player, having been a part of 113 wins (and counting) for the Boilers.
