WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- ?If No. 15 Purdue continues to shoot 3-pointers with the accuracy it did Saturday against Morehead State, the Boilermakers will have the potential for a special season.Freshman guard Carsen Edwards scored 16 points, and Purdue made 15 of 29 attempts from 3-point range -- 11 in the first half -- on the way to a 90-56 victory.When you look at their big men (Caleb Swanigan and Isaac Haas), you kind of have to start there, but you learn quickly that Purdue is a very balanced team, Morehead State acting head coach Preston Spradlin said. When defending them, you have to pick your poison.The Boilermakers (6-2), coming off a Wednesday loss at No. 14 Louisville in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, used a 15-0 first-half run to stretch a 10-9 lead to 25-9, and Purdue continued to pull away.Dakota Mathias added 14 points, Swanigan and P.J. Thompson had 13 each for Purdue and the 7-foot-2 Haas had 11 points and five rebounds.Miguel Dicent had 11 points for Morehead State (2-5), which played without coach Sean Woods, who has been suspended with pay since Nov. 22, when the university launched an official investigation into Woods treatment of players.Purdue made 11 of 20 from 3-point range during the first half when it built a 47-25 lead. Carsen Edwards, who made his first start in place of slumping Vince Edwards, and Mathias made four 3-pointers each in the first half.There are a lot of people on the team who are able to shoot the ball, Carsen Edwards said. The shots were falling today, and people were hot, so we tried to keep getting the ball to the hot hand and keep making shots.Thompson said that the 6-8 Swanigan, who had nine rebounds, and Haas always will be the focus of the Purdue offense.The bigs are our bread and better, said Thompson, who was 3 of 5 from 3-point range. We definitely want to work inside-out. It looks like the more we get the ball inside, the easier it is for us shooters, because (Swanigan and Haas) get so much attention with double teams. Then, we get wide open 20-footers.Purdue coach Matt Painter was most pleased that the Boilermakers, who had been averaging 15.7 turnovers, were guilty of only nine Saturday, including three during the final 20 minutes.We have been emphasizing turnovers the whole season, and today really was no different in terms of how other teams have played us defensively, Painter said. We also have had people not zone us, and we still have had turnovers. Today was a good sign that we bounced back after a loss on the road (at Louisville) and played well.The Boilermakers played without fifth-year graduate student transfer point guard Spike Albrecht, who suffered a back injury in a Nov. 18 victory against Georgia State and battled through the pain in the Louisville game. Painter said Albrecht is out indefinitely.BIG PICTUREMorehead State: With Woods suspended indefinitely, the Eagles are a distracted basketball team, and it shows as their losing streak reached five on Saturday, including 0-3 for acting coach Spradlin.Purdue: Its a byproduct of opposing defenses centering their attention on Boilermaker big men Swanigan and Haas, but Purdue entered this game leading the Big Ten in 3-point field goal shooting percentage at 41.8 and made 55 percent from beyond the arc during the opening half on Saturday.POLL IMPLICATIONSWhile it did not play well until late in the game Wednesday at No. 14 Louisville, Purdue has a chance to move up in the next AP Top 25 after playing very well in Saturdays 34-point victory. Only 2016 NCAA champion Villanova and 2013 NCAA champ Louisville have beaten the Boilermakers.LINEUP CHANGEWith junior forward Vince Edwards struggling, Painter inserted freshman guard Carsen Edwards -- no relation to Vince -- into Saturdays starting lineup, and the first-year player made 6 of 12 shots, including 4 of 7 from 3-point range.He gave us some additional quickness, Painter said of Carsen Edwards. He can drive and shoot it. Sometimes, you are just searching for things at this time of the season. Vince and Carsen will continue to play a lot.UP NEXTMorehead State: The Eagles do not play until going to Lipscomb on Dec. 10.Purdue: The Boilermakers travel to New York City for a Tuesday night game against Arizona State in the Jimmy V.

Rashid took six wickets in Visakhapatnam, to go with his seven-for in the first Test in Rajkot, though it couldnt prevent England from slipping to a 1-0 series deficit as they were bowled out for 158 on the final day. India v England: Story of 2012 On Englands last trip to India in 2012, Alastair Cook led his side to victory from 1-0 down... He has made huge strides, said Cook. It is just so encouraging to see someone really fulfilling their potential. Obviously Rash can bowl - hes a really good bowler, in fact - but hes starting to believe it a bit more in Test cricket now.I think Im right in saying that if he takes one more wicket, hell have as many as Shane Warne ever got in a series in India. So he is doing some good stuff.I have been really impressed with the control he has shown. One thing we said after Bangladesh was that we didnt have that control from our spinners. Adil Rashids control has improved since the Bangladesh tour, says Alastair Cook He has taken that to heart, gone away and worked incredibly hard - Saqlain Mushtaq coming in as a coach has been really good for him, and all of the spinners, in fact.The full tosses and long-hops he had been bowling have disappeared, and thats huge credit to him.Reflecting further on Englands defeat in the second Test, Cook rued losing an important toss and said a couple of poor sessions cost them. Watch the best of the action as England slipped to defeat on day five of the second Test And looking ahead to the third Test in Mohali on Saturday, Cook wouldnt be drawn on whether Stuart Broad would be fit enough to play, but did praise his fast bowlers efforts in playing through the pain barrier to take 4-33 in Indias second innings.ddddddddddddIt was a good toss for India to win, added Cook. We all saw that it was the easiest to bat on the first day, theres no doubt about that.In India you need to score first-innings runs, and we needed at least parity in that first innings, so it was disappointing to lose five wickets late on day two, you cant afford to have a poor session like that.But from then on, we showed a lot of character and fight - Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes partnership on the third morning, our efforts with the ball in the third innings, and then to bat 100 overs in the fourth.The guys have shown a lot of character so far on this tour, and were not far away. Stuart Broad was back among the wickets in the second Test despite a foot injury (Credit: AFP) Full credit to Broady, in particular, as I think his injury is a lot sorer than he showed everyone in that India second innings.Tearing a tendon in your toe doesnt sound particularly pleasant, so to bowl like he did was a huge credit to his resilience and his toughness. Thats probably why he has played 100 Tests.Well see how his injury settles over the next 24 hours. The conditions sometimes suit seamers in Mohali, but I doubt were going to see too much grass on the pitch, if Im honest.Hopefully we can go there and put India under some pressure; get the first of a couple of wins to get back in the series.
