Boilers climb out of the cellar

Purdue climbed out of last place in the Big Ten by emasculating Penn State, 77-50. David Teague finished with a career-high 25 points, including five 3-pointers, and seven rebounds, while Carl Landry had 15 of his 24 points in the second half. Purdue (6-15, 2-8) ended a two-game losing streak by winning for just the second time in 11 games. Purdue does not play again until next Wednesday against Iowa in West Lafayette.
