Purdue's loss after being No. 1 to an unranked team has happened before, but not since 2007, according to ESPN. In 2007, No. 1 Wisconsin lost at unranked Michigan State. Same thing happened to St. Joseph's in 2004, losing to Xavier. Memphis did it in 1983, losing at Virginia Tech. And in 1952, No. 1 Illinois lost at unranked DePaul.

• Purdue is 12-5 all-time vs. Rutgers, but the Boilers have lost the last four in a row.

• Rutgers' Ron Harper Jr. tied his career-high 30 points, his most ever against a Big Ten team.
