He tried to go a little bit (Tuesday), but he couldn't do it. We'll take off (Wednesday) then practice for two days so hopefully he can get back in the fold." Scott has been starting point guard Jon Octeus' primary backup, while Thompson has logged min- utes at both point guard and play- ing off the ball. With Scott out against the Wolf- pack and Octeus battling foul trou- ble, Thompson played 22 minutes, most, if not all, of them at the point. Scott has averaged just 11.7 minutes per game this season and is averaging five points. BIG TEN WINS 'CHALLENGE' AGAIN With some help from Purdue's 66-61 win over N.C.

After the ACC won the first 10 sets of matchups between the two conferences, which began in 1999, the Challenge has either tied or been won by the Big Ten the past six years. Incidentally, Purdue has won a Big Ten-best six Challenge games in a row.
