This team is going to be very deep.  To be a great team, a team must be led by 3 good scorers, Purdue has them in E. Moore, R. Hummel and J. Johnson and solid complementary players and Purdue has them. Watch out for 6-4 DJ Byrd, he plays bigger than his size, is athletic, and has range.  This team plays tough man to man defense.  Granted, losing Chris Kramer is a big loss but Purdue has more talented players waiting to step up.  The biggest question is getting everybody to play together as a team, but coach Painter seems good at getting all the pieces to blend and depth is going to create fierce competition in practice for playing time.

Purdue 12-1 @ the Vegas Hilton to cut the nets down has major, major value.
