Trey Kaufman-Renn - Double-double vs. Rutgers Kaufman-Renn totaled 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-7 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 81-65 win over Rutgers.

Impact After two straight quieter games on the glass, Kaufman-Renn was once again a menace on the boards with 13 rebounds. Couple that with a highly efficient 63 percent shooting from the field, and he logged his fourth double-double of the year as the Boilermakers eased past Rutgers. Kaufman-Renn isn't quite scoring at the clip he did last season, but he's been more efficient from the field and has been more of a handful on the glass.

Purdue vs. Rutgers Prediction, How to Watch, Odds, Channel - Dec 2

Daniel Jacobsen - Dominates Panthers Jacobsen contributed 24 points (8-8 FG, 8-9 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and six blocks over 18 minutes during Friday's 109-62 victory over Eastern Illinois.

Impact Jacobsen is often overshadowed by one of the best frontcourts in the country composed of Trey Kaufman-Renn and Oscar Cluff, but given both are seniors, Jacobsen should firmly be on the dynasty radar given how successfully Purdue has developed talent over the years. Right now, the 7-foot-4 sophomore is one of the best per-minute big men in the country, averaging 10.3 points on 73.7 percent shooting, to go along with 5.0 rebounds, in just 15.7 minutes per contest. His minutes will probably be less consistent when conference play brings tougher opponents, but the focus here should be the long-term outlook.
