College Basketball Preview: 3. Purdue Boilermakers

Moore(33) will be key dishing inside to Hummel and JaJuan Johnson.

Purdue Boilermakers, Key Losses: G Chris Kramer, G Keaton Grant Key Returnees: PF Robbie Hummel, E'Tuwan Moore

Purdue should have a serious shot at the championship this season because of the returns of Robbie Hummel. He is a good pyschical defender and can rebound fine too, but his offense is where he excels. E'Tuwan Moore will do a good job getting it into him inside along with center JaJuan Johnson. The losses of both guards Keaton Grant and Chris Kramer hurt more on defense than offense. The recruiting class is decent led by guard Terone Johnson, who will take over Kramer's spot, and Anthony Johnson. Both Donnie Hale and Travis Carrol will key off the bench inside the post.

Big Ten Rank: 2
Last Season Results: 29-6, lost in Sweet Sixteen to Duke
Key Recruits: G Terone Johnson(46+), G Anthony Johnson(100=), F Donnie Hale, C Travis Carrol
