WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- The 19th-ranked Purdue Boilermakers may run out of superlatives by the end of the season.
In its opening two games, the Boilermakers scored a combined 216 points, defeating Southern Illinois-Edwardsville 105-74 in their opener and dismantling Chicago State 111-42 on Sunday.
The blowout marked the lowest shooting percentage by a Purdue opponent in school history (21.5 percent), as well as the first time in 43 years the Boilermakers scored 100 or more points in back-to-back games.
Purdue (2-0) will face its first real test of the season on Tuesday as it plays at Marquette (1-0) in the Gavitt Tipoff Games series.
