GOLDANDBLACK EXPRESS • VOLUME 25, EXPRESS 22 • 11 MAKING NOISE Octeus' second-half dunk against Indiana — the one that Painter said he was "shocked" that happened — was one of the most-talked about plays on the night. It was No. 1 on "SportsCen- ter's" top-10 highlights on Thurs- day and also was a hit on Twitter. SportsCenter tweeted the dunk multiple times and one of the tweets got 2,666 retweets and 2,067 favorites. After the play in which Octe- us took the ball from the top of the key, raced down the lane and threw down a one-handed slam with Collin Hartman underneath him, Octeus paused to pose. "That energy after that dunk, I just had to celebrate a little bit," he said. ONE MORE If Purdue beats Rutgers on Thursday, it'll be Painter's 100th in Big Ten play. M i c h i - gan State's Tom Izzo (231), Wis- consin's Bo Ryan (169) and Ohio State's Thad Matta (129) are ahead of Painter in terms of active coaches to win at least 100 league games. P a i n t e r also would be the 20th coach in Big Ten history to reach the 100-win mark in conference play.
