Iowa Basketball: Weekly Big Ten Power Rankings
By Kenny Levine
2. Purdue (15-2, 4-0)
The Purdue Boilermakers are coming into their own. Since an early season tournament that saw them lose two games to Tennessee and Western Kentucky, Purdue has looked like a different team. Since those two losses, Purdue has wins over Arizona, Louisville, Maryland and Butler. The current Boilermakers look a lot like the team that won the Big Ten regular season last year.
This past week, Purdue continued its winning ways. They dominated Rutgers in an 82-51 win lat Wednesday at Mackey Arena. It followed that up with a 74-62 win against a pesky Nebraska team. The Boilermakers have a couple tough road tests this week. Purdue travels to Ann Arbor to face Michigan Tuesday night and follows that up with a Saturday afternoon trip to the Barn to take on Minnesota.
