Purdue-Florida Preview

While Florida is still searching for its identity under a first-year coach, it's easy to see what Purdue is.

Just look at the 21st-ranked Boilermakers' roster.

The imposing Boilermakers will try to build off a huge performance from their bigs when they meet the Gators Sunday night in the championship game of the Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament.

Purdue (4-0) boasts four players at 6-foot-9 or taller, and the Boilermakers' two 7-footers broke out during Saturday's 61-39 win over Old Dominion in a semifinal game.

Seven-footer A.J. Hammons scored 18 points and grabbed six rebounds off the bench and 7-foot-2 Isaac Haas added 10 points and eight boards.
