Boilermakers Undefeated in Canada | Purdue Boilermakers Basketball News

Purdue’s Canadian tour ended on a high note with a 97-62 win over Fraser Valley, cementing their undefeated 4-0 run. Coach Matt Painter used the trip to test lineups without an All-American, and CJ Cox is poised to take on a bigger scoring role. But the real story? Daniel Jacobsen and Gicarri Harris stepped up, possibly earning starting spots. Caden Pierce has locked down another role, while the guard position remains wide open—with Antoine West and Luke Ertel making strong cases. West flashed scoring and defense, including five steals, while Ertel dazzled with playmaking and tough shots. Pierce, a Princeton transfer, looked sharp with 11 points and 4 assists in the finale. Some players like Omar Mayer and Brooks Burgess struggled to find rhythm, but Jacob Webber exploded for 21 points and six threes—showing Big Ten potential. And with French big man Enzo Shahrvin on the way, the frontcourt’s depth is set to grow as fall practices loom. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
