The way the Purdue men’s basketball team has found a way to win games it looked destined to lose this season is a credit to its resiliency and grit. That’s what can define a champion.

“We still have life here,” said optimistic junior guard Trevon Hughes as the Badgers continued the program’s longest losing streak since the 1997-98 season.
