Purdue sophomore Ryan Cline joins Basil Smotherman in being suspended for the first three games of the season: Tonight's exhibition, the West Virginia scrimmage and opener vs. McNeese State.

“We have suspended Ryan for our first three competitions for a violation of team rules,” Matt Painter said in a release issued a little more than an hour prior to Tuesday night's exhibition against Southern Indiana. “We hold our players to a set of standards and they are expected to conduct themselves accordingly.”

Purdue is also without big man Jacquil Taylor tonight, due to injury, leaving the Boilermakers with just seven scholarship players.
