WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) - Purdue lost its front line from last year's Elite Eight squad, but coach Sharon Versyp says the replacements are solid.
Lindsay Wisdom-Hylton and Danielle Campbell were 1 of the top post tandems in the country last season before being selected in the WNBA draft, but Versyp says she isn't worried. She spoke highly of 6-foot-4-inch sophomore Chelsea Jones and athletic 6-2 freshman Sam Ostarello during Tuesday's media day.
The Boilermakers will be perimeter oriented. The top returning scorers are guards Brittany Rayburn, Jodi Howell and FahKara Malone.
Alex Guyton would have provided some experience inside, but the 6-3 sophomore is recovering from a left leg stress fracture. She isn't expected to play until mid-December.
