A special guest visited BTN during our telecast of the Purdue-Southeast Missouri State game on Saturday at Ross-Ade Stadium. It was Purdue basketball standout Robbie Hummel. Hummel, who is recovering from his second season-ending knee injury, stopped by to chat with BTN sideline reporter Lisa Byington. So, how's the knee? "It's been positive, I haven't had any setbacks," Hummel said. Saturday's game had to make Hummel feel pretty good, too, as the Boilermakers thumped SEMO, 59-0.

Hummel and the Boilermakers open the season Nov. 1 against Northern State.
