WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- ?If No. 15 Purdue continues to shoot 3-pointers with the accuracy it did Saturday against Morehead State, the Boilermakers will have the potential for a special season.Freshman guard Carsen Edwards scored 16 points, and Purdue made 15 of 29 attempts from 3-point range -- 11 in the first half -- on the way to a 90-56 victory.When you look at their big men (Caleb Swanigan and Isaac Haas), you kind of have to start there, but you learn quickly that Purdue is a very balanced team, Morehead State acting head coach Preston Spradlin said. When defending them, you have to pick your poison.The Boilermakers (6-2), coming off a Wednesday loss at No. 14 Louisville in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, used a 15-0 first-half run to stretch a 10-9 lead to 25-9, and Purdue continued to pull away.Dakota Mathias added 14 points, Swanigan and P.J. Thompson had 13 each for Purdue and the 7-foot-2 Haas had 11 points and five rebounds.Miguel Dicent had 11 points for Morehead State (2-5), which played without coach Sean Woods, who has been suspended with pay since Nov. 22, when the university launched an official investigation into Woods treatment of players.Purdue made 11 of 20 from 3-point range during the first half when it built a 47-25 lead. Carsen Edwards, who made his first start in place of slumping Vince Edwards, and Mathias made four 3-pointers each in the first half.There are a lot of people on the team who are able to shoot the ball, Carsen Edwards said. The shots were falling today, and people were hot, so we tried to keep getting the ball to the hot hand and keep making shots.Thompson said that the 6-8 Swanigan, who had nine rebounds, and Haas always will be the focus of the Purdue offense.The bigs are our bread and better, said Thompson, who was 3 of 5 from 3-point range. We definitely want to work inside-out. It looks like the more we get the ball inside, the easier it is for us shooters, because (Swanigan and Haas) get so much attention with double teams. Then, we get wide open 20-footers.Purdue coach Matt Painter was most pleased that the Boilermakers, who had been averaging 15.7 turnovers, were guilty of only nine Saturday, including three during the final 20 minutes.We have been emphasizing turnovers the whole season, and today really was no different in terms of how other teams have played us defensively, Painter said. We also have had people not zone us, and we still have had turnovers. Today was a good sign that we bounced back after a loss on the road (at Louisville) and played well.The Boilermakers played without fifth-year graduate student transfer point guard Spike Albrecht, who suffered a back injury in a Nov. 18 victory against Georgia State and battled through the pain in the Louisville game. Painter said Albrecht is out indefinitely.BIG PICTUREMorehead State: With Woods suspended indefinitely, the Eagles are a distracted basketball team, and it shows as their losing streak reached five on Saturday, including 0-3 for acting coach Spradlin.Purdue: Its a byproduct of opposing defenses centering their attention on Boilermaker big men Swanigan and Haas, but Purdue entered this game leading the Big Ten in 3-point field goal shooting percentage at 41.8 and made 55 percent from beyond the arc during the opening half on Saturday.POLL IMPLICATIONSWhile it did not play well until late in the game Wednesday at No. 14 Louisville, Purdue has a chance to move up in the next AP Top 25 after playing very well in Saturdays 34-point victory. Only 2016 NCAA champion Villanova and 2013 NCAA champ Louisville have beaten the Boilermakers.LINEUP CHANGEWith junior forward Vince Edwards struggling, Painter inserted freshman guard Carsen Edwards -- no relation to Vince -- into Saturdays starting lineup, and the first-year player made 6 of 12 shots, including 4 of 7 from 3-point range.He gave us some additional quickness, Painter said of Carsen Edwards. He can drive and shoot it. Sometimes, you are just searching for things at this time of the season. Vince and Carsen will continue to play a lot.UP NEXTMorehead State: The Eagles do not play until going to Lipscomb on Dec. 10.Purdue: The Boilermakers travel to New York City for a Tuesday night game against Arizona State in the Jimmy V.

The freshman from Vaughan, Ont.The Seattle Seahawks have waived running back Christine Michael, the team announced on Tuesday.Michael started seven games this season, running 117 times for 469 yards (4.0 YPC). With Thomas Rawls having suffered a fibula injury in Week 2, Michael had a chance to resurrect his career but was never able to get going.In Week 9, rookie C.J. Prosise played more snaps than Michael, and Sunday against the New England Patriots, Prosise got the start.Michael popped up on the injury report last Friday with a hamstring injury and was listed as questionable. He dressed for the game but played only 11 snaps.Asked about Michaels injury Monday, Pete Carroll said simply, Hes fine.Michael was originally a second-round pick by the Seahawks in 2010. After two seasons in Seattle, the team traded him to the Dallas Cowboys. Michael was released by the Cowboys during last season and caught on with the Washington Redskins before returning to Seattle for the final three games.He was a free agent in the offseason and ended up signing a one-year, $765,000 deal to return to Seattle.During the summer, coaches aand teammates raved about Michael making the most of his second chance.dddddddddddd Offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell described Michaels new attitude as an awakening. But he was unable to take full advantage of his opportunity.Prosise had 24 touches for 153 yards last week and figures to play a big role going forward. The Seahawks are also expecting to get Rawls back in Week 11.With C.J., the versatility of all the things he seems to be able to do at this point, and knowing that theres a real style to Thomas that were really looking forward to seeing, it could be a real nice matchup, Carroll said. Well see how that works.The Seahawks have running back Alex Collins on their roster and added Troymaine Pope from the practice squad as well on Tuesday.The team also waived nose tackle Sealver Siliga and signed defensive lineman John Jenkins, who was recently released by the New Orleans Saints. The Seahawks currently have one open spot on their 53-man roster.[url=http://www.nning 117 times for 469 yards (4.0 YPC). With T' '
