Purdue Roundball Roundup: Jadey Ivey's turnover-free streak and more

GoldandBlack.com's Purdue Roundball Roundball is a periodic notebook to be published throughout the season, or at least until we start forgetting to do it.

JADEN IVEY'S IMPRESSIVE RUN

It's been nearly roughly 110 minutes of playing time since Jaden Ivey committed his last turnover, a charge with 14:10 left to play in the season-opener against Liberty in Florida.

The Boilermaker freshman missed the next five games due to a foot problem, returning just in time for Big Ten games. Since he returned to the floor for the Ohio State game, Ivey's been turnover-free seven games running, all of them against high-major opponents, including a half dozen Big Ten games, four of them on the road.

"The start of the summer, I had so many turnovers," Ivey said. "I think my mindset was to just have less turnovers during the season. I think I'm just doing a good job of not turning the ball over and finding my teammates."

Context is important here.
