3:00 – Purdue’s student section, the “Paint Crew,” is introduced as the team’s official 6th man. The “Crew” is averaging 0.0 points per game on the season, but Boilermaker coach Matt Painter expects that to change today.

3:15 – Tied at 4, 15:56 to go in the half. There’s already been one “Carl was better” chant directed at Badger forward Marcus Landry in reference to Marcus’ brother Carl who starred at Purdue.

3:25 – Purdue uses a 10-0 to take a 12-4 lead with 11:53 to play in the half. The combination of the Boilermaker’s defense and the stadium noise has given the Badgers a lot of trouble on the offensive end.
