Will Purdue make changes to the starting lineup? Coach Matt Painter says he's still looking at mixing things up and altering some rotations.
Don't be surprised if you see Matt Painter tinker with Purdue's starting lineup over the next few games. Right now, he says nothing is etched in stone for the Boilermakers.
Freshman Daniel Jacobsen began the year as Purdue's starting center in the first two games. However, the 7-foot-4 rookie was injured just one minute into the second contest of the season against Northern Kentucky. He's likely out for the year with a right leg injury. "We'll mix some things up. You're still trying to find what a good mix is for certain guys and you're trying to find production, more than anything," Painter said. "When you get opportunities and you get chances and you're not productive, you've got to be able to look in other directions. Sometimes it's a mix of guys, sometimes it's just straight personnel and one guy is more productive than the other.
