Last updated on Wednesday, February 15, 2017

(WEST LAFAYETTE, IN) - Isaac Haas and Caleb Swanigan led No. 16 Purdue in a 74-55 rout over Rutgers.

Haas came off the bench with a game-high 24 points and 11 rebounds while Swanigan pulled down 17 boards of his own and added 12 points. It was the Boilermakers' fourth win in a row and a dominant performance on the glass, out-rebounding Rutgers 45-28 as a team.

Rutgers coach Steve Pikiell said Purdue has something special.

"They've got two great players. What a luxury bringing Haas off the bench. They caused many problems for us and surround those two guys with great shooters."

The Boilermakers are 21-5 overall and 10-3 in conference play and next host Michigan State on Saturday.
