Matt painter: you know it was just good to see him have a balanced game.

You know he scored the basketball a little bit for us, he rebounded, i thought he did some good things defensively for us and then obviously like we are discussing now, he did a good job of passing.

Trevion: we fed off each other's energy, we came out in the second half we had energy, we left off the first half we had energy, and we just kept it going from there.

And you know it paid off for us.

Purdue will look to make it three straight wins on saturday ..
