The Formula For Road Success Weekly Pic Matt Painter often says to win on a the road in the Big Ten you have to win the battle of the boards and not turn the ball over, something that happened Sunday when Purdue committed just 12 turnovers and outrebounded the Badgers by 12. The latter was a startling number, considering starting center A.J. Hammons failed to grab a rebound for the first time in his career. In Purdue's 32 conference road wins under Painter, here are the numbers in the important categories: Rebounding Margin Wins 11+7 SSSSSSS 6 – 10 2 SS Even – 5 SSSSSSSSS 17 SSSSSSSS -1 – -5 2 SS -6 – -10 2 SS -112 SS Gold & Black Illustrated is a publication of Boilers, Inc. 2605 Yeager Road, West Lafayette, IN 47906 765-237-5002 or 1-800-876-GOPU (4678) Twitter.com/GoldandBlackcom Fax: 765-497-2110 President/Publisher Alan Karpick 765-237-5078 Twitter.com/AlanKarpick AKarpick@GoldandBlack.com Editor Brian Neubert BNeubert@GoldandBlack.com P ublications Coordinator Kyle Charters KCharters@GoldandBlack.com Staff Writer Stacy Clardie SClardie@GoldandBlack.com P hotography/Cover Photo Tom Campbell Graphic Designer Gary Hoffman Advertising Sales Alan Karpick, Tait McKinney Subscriptions/Production: Evan Burlingame, Alex Posthauer, Mike Rish, Evan Solgere, Tyler Ochs Subscriptions@GoldandBlack.com TurnoversWins SSSSSS 10-under12 SSSSSS SSSSSSS 11-1514 SSSSSSS 16-205 SSSSS 21+1 S This Week In Purdue History Tom Campbell Drey Mingo addresses Coach Sharon Versyp during Senior Day ceremonies on Sunday afternoon. It has been a long ride for Mingo, who started college at Maryland in 2007 and ended her Mackey Arena playing days with an important win over Illinois. Both Versyp and Mingo have been through a lot together in the past four years. March 5, 1988 • Coach Gene Keady's second-ranked Boilermakers outlast No. 10 Michigan 80-67 in front of a CBS audience and a Mackey Arena crowd that spent the last minute of the game chanting "Big Ten champs." On that day, Purdue was led in scoring by junior center Melvin McCants with 24 points as the victory gave Keady his first outright conference championship and the first at Purdue in 19 years. March 8, 1997 • Purdue ends the regular season with a hard-fought 77-69 win over No. 15 Illinois, a victory that went a long way toward sealing the Boilermakers' fifth-straight NCAA Tournament appearance. Juniors Brad Miller and Chad Austin combined for 50 points and helped the Boilermakers finish the conference slate tied for second with a 12-6 record. March 5, 2007 • Purdue raced to an incredible 21-0 lead at the game's outset and never looked back en route to defeating No. 5 Ohio State in the title game of the Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis. Purdue's dynamic duo of Katie Gearlds and Lindsay Wisdom-Hylton played all but one minute in the contest and combined for 46 points and 20 rebounds for the No. 15th-ranked Boilermakers.
