Overview: Matt Painter has turned things back around at Purdue. He got about as much out of 27-10 team as possible considering their star player was hampered by injuries all season. Junior Robbie Hummel (12.5ppg, 7rpg) is back for his junior season, despite missing five games and being hampered by back injuries the entire season. But everybody is back injuring 6-10 junior big man JaJuan Johnson (13.4ppg, 5.6rpg), one of the most improved players in the nation last year. In the backcourt, E’Twaun Moore (13.4ppg) shot just 42.2 percent from th efield and had 111 assists with 97 turnovers. They also return 6-4 senior guard Keaton Grant, 6-3 senior defensive whiz Chris Kramer and 5-9 sophomore Lewis Jackson. Jackson provides the speed and athleticism needed since this isn’t particularly speedy and athletic club. Kramer led the league in steals last year with 75. The most important newcomer will be freshman guard D.J. Byrd (6-5, 215), who was one of the top scorers in Indiana high school basketball last year.

Outlook: Not many teams get after it defensively like Purdue, which is why they’ll be a tough out all season for the upper echelon teams like Michigan State and Ohio State. If Hummel can stay healthy, theycould surprise Michigan State.
