A.J. Hammons posted Purdue���s highest-scoring individual performance of
the Big Ten season through the end of
February with his 30-point performance
against Indiana. He became just the third
Boilermaker men���s freshman to score
30 points in a game, joining Kyle Macy
(1976) and Russell Cross (1980). It was
the most emotion the usually reserved
Hammons had shown on the court in his
brief career.
One of the highlights of the month of February
was Robbie Hummel being recognized for
his banner in Mackey Arena during the
Michigan State game. It was all part of the
former Boilermaker���s brief return from playing
in Spain. Hummel admitted it was hard to
keep his emotions in check during the brief
halftime ceremony that took place on the court
where he was part of Big Ten Tournament
and regular-season championship teams and
was named the first Boilermaker since Rick
Mount (1968-70) to earn first-team All-Big Ten
honors three times.
