Last week the AP Poll had a rarity. Purdue received more first palce votes than No. 1 Houston, but enough writers dropped the Boilermakers far enough back (some as far down as 10th) for committing the crime of (checks notes) trailing Oakland briefly in the second half while one of our All-Americans was not playing. […]

There was no letdown for Purdue tonight after the huge win at Alabama on Thursday. A good Akron team came to West Lafayette with a MAC title to their credit and consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances on their resume. They were able to make a game of it for a bit, but in the end Purdue […]

Purdue came into this game riding a high after taking down #8 Alabama on the road. They watched earlier today as #1 usurping Houston struggled to take down future Purdue opponent Auburn. Maybe that was a nice reminder to take nothing for granted as Purdue will next head to the Bahamas. This had all the […]

Purdue is currently on its longest home non-conference winning streak in program history. Purdue has won its last 34 non-conference games at Mackey Arena. And while Akron won’t come into […]

Coming off a thrilling 87-80 victory over the #8 Alabama Crimson Tide on the road, the Purdue men’s basketball team returns home to face the Zips of Akron. This is no time for a day off though. Akron comes in 3-0 and Purdue needs to show their doubters that they can handle the opponents they […]

Purdue will eventually win another conference game in the sport of American football. We’re going to keep playing the sport and eventually, on a long enough timeline, a win will come. It just probably won’t be in 2025. While there was a small ray of hope after Purdue wasn’t totally embarassed by Ohio State last […]

Purdue is in the state of Washington for a Big Ten game, that’ll never feel normal to me, with the added subplot of their former head football coach Ryan Walters roaming the sidelines (or perhaps sitting in the press box) for the Huskies. It’s an added element of revenge for the Boilermakers though the vast […]

With around thirty seconds left in what will be one of the best played college basketball games of the year, a back and forth game found itself separated by just four points. But still, Alabama fans and half the media, started to get up from their chairs and walk towards the exit. It was a […]

Pete Thamel reported earlier this morning that Washington will be without wide receiver Denzel Boston, the Huskies’ best offensive weapon, along with two other starters along the offensive line. Boston has 52 receptions, 730 yards, and 8 touchdowns and is clearly Washington’s leader in that room. The next closes for each category is 29 receptions, […]

There are just two games left in the regular season for the Boilermakers. Well, the season I guess. Purdue is certainly not going to the postseason. So it’s time for the staff to go on the record about this one. Ledman (9-1): I just have very little confidence or faith in this team right now. […]

A trip to Tuscaloosa led to the same result over the previous two seasons for Purdue as the Boilers moved to 3-0 over the Crimson Tide of Alabama following an 87-80 road victory. It was a game that saw Purdue quiet some of the doubt that had followed a somewhat lukewarm 2-0 start that saw […]

What a win for Purdue in Tuscaloosa. After there was consternation and gnashing of teeth because (checks notes) Purdue trailed briefly in the second half at home against Oakland the Boilers went on the road and did something it has not done in 40+ years: win a non-conference true road game over a top 10 […]

The first half didn’t go like either team expected. Purdue dominated the glass with Trey, Braden, and Cluff combining for 17 boards after the Boilermakers looked allergic to rebounding in their first two contests. Meanwhile, Alabama, a team shooting a combined 30% from deep through two games, could not miss from deep, connecting on 10 […]

After a ho hum 2-game start, the preseason #1 team in the country dropped to #2 despite not losing a game. Purdue struggled with mid-major Oakland at home, winning by just ten at home. While Alabama […]

Ryan has returned from his wedding and honeymoon just in time to talk some really consequential Purdue basketball. He’s also returned on singing day when Purdue signed four very good recruits including yet another 7-footer. So, Ryan and I get into the recruiting class and what we can expect from them in the future. This […]

The first signing day of the early period for the 2026 class saw the Boilers add one of the most highly touted high school classes in the country and one that may be one of the highest rated under Head Coach Matt Painter. It was clear what the staff was doing as they will look […]

The 7 footer was down to Purdue, Illinois and Ohio State before making the correct decision to join Coach Painter at Big Man U. Originally from China, Sinan currently attends Georgetown Prep in Maryland, […]

Purdue basketball faces its biggest challenge of the season tomorrow when they take on the Crimson Tide from Alabama. So I wanted to reach out to the staff and see their key to the game or alternatively what they’d be watching for. Ledman: The easy answer is to see if TKR returns. That’s going to […]

Purdue men’s basketball has been teasing a new uniform for weeks now. Probably longer. If you follow the Boiler Uniforms Twitter account you’ve probably seen rumblings from him for months about a new black uniform. Apparently sometime this week someone leaked it online and it got shared around Purdue Twitter but I wasn’t able to […]

Purdue’s season continues to crash around itself after a 2-0 start has led to an 8-game losing streak including all six of its Big Ten Conference games. Purdue’s task doesn’t any easier as the Boilermakers head out west to take on the 6-3 Washington Huskies who are an even 3-3 in the Big Ten. But […]
