PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) Freshman Caleb Swanigan had 12 points and 13 rebounds, and No. 22 Purdue held a 63-23 advantage on the boards in beating Rutgers 107-57 on Monday night, handing the Scarlet Knights' their worst home loss.
''I feel like things were going our way,'' Swanigan said. ''As a team it might have been our best game as a whole entire unit. It's easy to agree with that because the whole team played well and we can just keep feeding off this.''
Rutgers previous worst loss at home was a 111-69 decision to Lafayette on March 3, 1955.
The 107 points tied a season high for Purdue and the 50-point margin of victory was its biggest of the season.
''It's a big achievement to be able to rebound the way we did and play as hard as we did. It's a great achievement as a team,'' Edwards said.
Vince Edwards had all 12 of his points and eight rebounds in the first half when the Boilermakers (16-3, 4-2 Big Ten) built a 33-point halftime lead. Dakota Mathias added 12 points for Purdue which sat its starters with 14 minutes remaining in the game and emptied its bench in the closing minutes.
Corey Sanders had 23 points for Rutgers (6-13, 0-6), which has lost six straight, all in the conference. The Scarlet Knights have lost their last 20 regular-season conference games, and 21 overall counting the league's tournament.
''We wanted to make an effort to try to get on the glass and establish ourselves there,'' Purdue coach Matt Painter said. ''Our guys gave a great effort and showed a lot of discipline not having a turnover the first half.''
Injuries in the front court have hurt Rutgers. Shaquille Doorson (foot) has not played this season and fellow center Ibrahima Diallo was lost to a foot injury after 10 games. Power forward Deshawn Freeman went down after seven games with a knee injury.
This game was never in doubt after Purdue scored six straight points to snap a 2-all tie. Rapheal Davis got the go-ahead basket on a fastbreak, A.J. Hammons added two free throws and Davis followed with a layup.
The margin only grew after that.
TIP-INS
Purdue: When the Boilermakers score at least 90 points, they are 5-0 this season, 17-0 under coach Matt Painter and they have won 79 straight games.
Rutgers: Rutgers did not have consecutive baskets in the first half, and it was 0 for 2 from the free throw line. The Scarlet Knights' 26 points in the first half were not a season low. They were limited to 18 by Maryland.
BENCH SCORING: Purdue's bench outscored Rutgers 57-6.
