Impact Cluff has scored in double digits in five straight games, which is his longest streak of the season. He had a pair of double-double in the streak and is averaging 9.2 points to go along with 15.2 points on 65.9 percent from the field. The 6-11 senior should be primed for a nice run in the NCAA Tournament wherever the Boilermakers land.

Provides double-double Cluff chipped in 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-5 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Thursday's 81-68 victory over Northwestern.

Impact Cluff has had nine double-doubles this season, but just three against Big Ten competition. He scored his most points since a Jan. 10 win over Penn State. The Boilermakers move on to a Friday match against Nebraska. Cluff had his last double-double with 12 points and 14 rebounds in the Feb. 10 win over the Cornhuskers.

Too much for Nebraska down low Cluff totaled 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 80-77 OT win over Nebraska.

Impact Nebraska simply didn't have anyone that could contain Cluff on the interior. The 6-foot-11 senior gobbled up rebounds all night, including a whopping 10 offensive boards to help Purdue keep possessions alive. Couple that with 12 points, his most since Jan. 17 and his first time scoring in double figures since then, and it was a highly productive day for Cluff.

Stays quiet in win Cluff racked up six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one block across 18 minutes during Sunday's 93-63 victory over Maryland.

Impact Cluff has now been held to single digit points in four straight games. He hasn't been that assertive, averaging just 4.0 shot attempts per game, but he hit both of his shots from the floor in the bounce-back win over Maryland. The senior center appears to be cooling off as we near the home stretch of conference play in the Big Ten.
