WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- No. 15 Purdue and Morehead State enter their Saturday afternoon game in Mackey Arena with problems to solve.While the Boilermakers issues are quite fixable, the Eagles are dealing with the suspension -- with pay -- of fifth-year head coach Sean Woods, who is facing complaints of player mistreatment.Assistant coach Preston Spradlin is the acting head coach. Woods, a former Kentucky standout guard who had a 75-63 record in his first four seasons at Morehead State, was suspended by athletic director Brian Hutchinson on Nov. 22. The Eagles (2-4) lost their past four games, including the past two under Spradlin.Resulting from complaints received, the institution has begun an investigation involving the head basketball coach, Hutchinson said in a statement issued by the university. While we continue through the formal process, we believe it is prudent to suspend the coach until the investigation is finished.Purdue (5-2) comes into the game off a 71-64 ACC/Big Ten Challenge loss at No. 14 Louisville on Wednesday. The Boilermakers shot only 35.8 percent (19 of 53), turned the ball over 17 times and got only one point from struggling junior forward Vince Edwards.Edwards, the teams leading returning scorer (11.3 points last season), is averaging only 10.6 points while shooting only 41.3 percent from the field.Purdue is averaging 15.7 turnovers and has been guilty of 54 total turnovers in its three most recent games (18 per contest).The Boilermakers front line of Edwards, 6-foot-8 Caleb Swanigan and 7-2 Isaac Haas was a collective 5 of 20 from the field and 11 of 16 from the free throw line for only 23 points during the loss at Louisville.Swanigan (six), Edwards (three) and Haas (one) were guilty of 10 of the 17 turnovers.We have to grow, said Swanigan, who is averaging 18.1 points and 11.9 rebounds. I have to be better with the ball, take care of the ball and just be myself. At Louisville, we allowed them to take us out of some things.Even with all of the turnovers, we were able to get within four at one point. If we dont learn from it, then its just us being uncoachable. We are going to have to see what this team is made of down the road.Junior guard Dakota Mathias said there is no excuse for most of Purdues giveaways.We have to be solid with the ball, but we also cant be too cautious, Mathias said. We are making simple errors -- mental errors -- and then it just gets in our heads.Boilermaker point guard P.J. Thompson shoulders the blame for what happened at Louisville.When we are on the road, we have to come out with a better fight, Thompson said. It starts with me as the point guard. As a junior captain, I have to have my team ready to play.I have played in big games -- big road games -- and we didnt come out at Louisville like we were ready to fight.Morehead State is led by senior guard Xavier Moon, who is averaging 13.3 points a game, and by sophomore guard Malik Maitland, who is averaging 12 points.Since Woods suspension, Morehead State dropped a 76-63 decision at Pittsburgh and fell 84-79 to Northern Kentucky on Wednesday.In the only other meeting between the Boilermakers and Eagles, Purdue defeated Morehead State 81-71 on Dec. 5, 1985, in West Lafayette.Nike NFL Jerseys Outlet .

Hes focused on himself, you know? Hes getting better in the gym every day. Hes not worried about the other guy. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.The best way to promote a Lawler fight is to show a Lawler fight. Thats his selling point -- entertaining, action-packed fights; the kind that might even intimidate future opponents. You want to take Lawlers title? Better be prepared for the worst 25 minutes of your life.Tyron Woodley, who will take on Lawler for the 170-pound title on Saturday at UFC 201 at Philips Arena, says hes up to the challenge.Robbie will bleed and smile and always keep coming, but you have to be intimidated by him to break from that, Woodley said. Thats actually his main attribute. But hes not the boogeyman to me. Im sorry. You put him at the foot of my bed, Im gonna open my eyes, take one look at him, and fall my ass right back to sleep.Its worth noting Woodley (15-3) has a long history with Lawler, which might help him humanize the champ more than others.Much of the pre-fight attention has been dedicated to whether or not the two are real teammates. They both represent American Top Team out of South Florida, although Woodley stopped holding his full-time camp there more than a year ago.Their relationship actually goes back well before Lawler joined ATT in 2013. It even goes back before Woodleys professional debut in 2009.Robbie was a guest referee for my last two amateur fights, Woodley said. I actually trained occasionally at his gym in Granite City, Illinois, which was 15 minutes from my house in St. Louis. We never sparred because Robbie wasnt doing much sparring at the time, but we wrestled a few times.I have video right now on a hard drive, me as an amateur fighter sitting in his gym saying, One day, Im going to be a UFC champion. Who the hell would have thought Id be fighting against the person whose gym I was in to make that happen? Those are things that I think make this a little more speciial.ddddddddddddThe two shared a gym again when Lawler joined ATT, but Woodley ultimately left to open a satellite gym in St. Louis. A former collegiate wrestler at the University of Missouri, Woodley also trains out of Roufusport in Milwaukee, alongside his former college teammate Ben Askren.Since Woodley was the one who relocated, he will, technically, be staring across the cage at a team that once coached him. The 34-year-old says hes not concerned how that might affect the matchup.Are they that familiar with me? Woodley asked. I dont think they are. I think theyre extremely familiar with what they saw a year and a half ago. How much have they seen since? Ill be jumping off the cage in this fight for all they know, throwing spinning backfists and flying armbars. They have no clue what Im coming with.If Lawler does possess inside knowledge on Woodley, he certainly isnt hinting at it. As is the case before all his fights, Lawler says his entire focus is on himself. Hes hoping for a finish, rather than another five-round war, but if it comes to that, he knows where he stands.Its not something I worry about, whether my opponents have that heart in them or not, Lawler said. All I know is that I have it. If they end up having it too, thats when you see something special. But I dont know what the other guy is bringing to the table. Im doing what I can to get them out of there. Thats about it.Where many see a stoic, ruthless juggernaut, who (and this actually is a quote from Lawler) looks to claim an opponents soul in a fight, Woodley sees a beatable opponent who doesnt scare him one bit.He has been put away before, Woodley said. Jacare [Ronaldo] Souza? Nick Diaz? I remember those fights. I watched those fights. Tim Kennedys wrestling was too much for him. Lorenz Larkin was too fast. I possess all those skills, but better. Styles make fights, you know what I mean?I think hes showing a lot of caution before this fight because he knows my style -- he has to respect it. ' ' '
