Boilers knock off #11 Wisconsin

Purdue (15-5, 6-1 Big Ten) scored their first big upset of the season yesterday defeating #11 Wisconsin at Mackey Arena, 60-56. The loss was the first for the Badgers in Big Ten action.

Freshman E'Twaun Moore was the leading scorer for the Boilers with 16 points, but fellow frosh Robbie Hummel was the hero.

Hummel (pictured) filled the stat sheet with 10 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists. However, Robbie's biggest contribution may have been his one block, which came with 2.4 seconds left in the game.

With the score 58-56 Wisconsin senior Michael Flowers was driving for the game-tying layup when Hummel snuck in from behind to block his shot. Hummel grabbed the ball and was fouled. After Robbie sunk his two free throw to seal the game, he was mobbed by the Paint Crew.

Hummel had this to say, "I got mobbed. It was awesome ... one the greatest experiences I've ever had on a basketball court. It's definitely a big win for us. I don't think I did anything the equivalent to Hoosiers, but it was cool."

Purdue will take on Iowa at Mackey on Wednesday.
