INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Purdue isn't the offensive juggernaut it was with Robbie Hummel. Yet here are the Boilermakers in the Sweet 16.
Purdue struggled to make baskets in several games after Hummel went down with a torn ACL in his right knee late last month. The Boilermakers (29-5) increased their productivity in NCAA tournament wins over Siena and Texas A&M, and No. 4 seed Purdue has advanced to play No. 1 seed Duke (31-5) on Friday night in Houston.
JaJuan Johnson and E'Twaun Moore have done what was expected of them in the NCAA tournament, but other offense has finally emerged. Chris Kramer, known as a defensive stopper, is averaging 13.5 points and made the game-winning layup in overtime against Texas A&M.
