25. Purdue Boilermakers

Previous ranking: 20

Record: 14-4 (3-2 Big Ten)

The Boilermakers fell apart in a road loss against the young Iowa Hawkeyes, but they host tenth-place Illinois next.

Caleb Swanigan played well against Iowa with 17 points and eight rebounds, but missed a bunny shot at the rim and failed to chase a lose ball in the final minute. That will likely fuel his next couple performances in the Big Ten. More will be needed from him, as well as from guards Carsen Edwards and Dakota Mathias, if this team is to keep up in the conference race.
