That reconfigured frontcourt fueled a strong start to an eventual 80-45 victory.  Either Daniel Jacobsen, now likely out for the season with a broken leg, or Will Berg had started at center in Purdue’s first five games.

Purdue coach Matt Painter talked about the starting lineup change, the rebounding battle, improving in the turnover category and more after a win over Marshall.

Marshall played its first four games of the year at the Cam Henderson Center, finishing that stretch with three wins before hitting the road for the first time.
