GOLDANDBLACK EXPRESS • VOLUME 25, EXPRESS 23 • 20 BY KYLE CHARTERS KCharters@GoldandBlack.com T he Boilermakers are looking to re- set, now that the regular season has completed. They have good reason to, having ex- tended their losing streak to 10 consecutive games before the start of the Big Ten Tour- nament on Wednesday. The skid is Purdue's longest since the 1983-84 season, when it lost 12 straight to end the season and fin- ished 5-23, including 1-17 in the Big Ten. Purdue is 10-19, 3-15 this season, tied for last place in the confer- ence. It'll be the 14th seed in the t o u r n a m e n t , thanks to its loss to Penn State in the only meet- ing this year.

It's just hard for confidence when you can't get over the hump in close games. … If you win those close games, it just gives you amazing confidence. "(Now), anything can happen. Is it a hard task? Absolutely." It will be. The Boilermakers, who have won the tournament a league-best nine times, would need to win five games in Tom Campbell Sharon Versyp has seen her team lose 11 straight, but feels the Big Ten Tournament gives the Boilermakers new life.
