Bridge’s addition completes Hazell’s coaching staff. I’m excited to have Jim join our staff, Hazell said. He brings a lot of passion and experience to Purdue and he is a phenomenal teacher. […]
By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor Whenever a team pulls off a major upset, more can often be learned from how it handles the next game than from the unexpected win. We’ll learn a lot about Purdue on Wednesday. The Boilermakers pulled off one of the biggest shockers of the college basketball season with their 69-56 win over […]
