C.J. Cox - College Basketball News & Rumors

Remains rather quiet Cox closed with seven points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 85-57 win over Minnesota.

Impact Cox scored seven points for the second straight game, and the guard hasn't hit double figures since Nov. 21. Purdue will be just fine, as it has plenty of capable scorers, but Cox has taken something of a back seat this season. He plays his role well, but don't expect a massive outing any time soon.

Cox was getting stitches after the game, so there's a chance he might miss a game or two in the future. Purdue's next game is against Alabama on Nov. 13, though.
