WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- While the reference points are very different, No. 15 Purdue and Western Illinois head into Monday nights game in Mackey Arena feeling good about themselves.The Boilermakers (9-2) rallied from a 17-point, first-half deficit on Saturday in Indianapolis Bankers Life Fieldhouse to defeat then-No. 21 Notre Dame 86-81, getting 26 points and 10 rebounds from Caleb Swanigan and 20 points and 10 rebounds off the bench from Vince Edwards.It was Purdues first victory against Notre Dame since the 1965-66 season, and it was the Boilermakers first victory against a Top 25 nonconference opponent since defeating then No. 24 St. Marys (Calif.) in the 2012 NCAA tournament in Omaha, Neb.Western Illinois (3-7) got 15 points and nine rebounds from Brandon Gilbeck and 14 points and 14 rebounds from Mike Miklusak on Saturday in a 75-59 victory at Wisconsin-Milwaukee, snapping a four-game losing streak.Purdue, which has won four in a row since a loss at 2013 NCAA champion Louisville, played excellent defense in the second half in rallying to beat Notre Dame, outscoring the Fighting Irish 48-29 in the final 20 minutes.It was the Boilermakers largest comeback victory since erasing an 18-point deficit against St. Johns in Madison Square Garden on Nov. 27, 1998 -- 18 years ago.Team defense is a lot easier for us when we just talk to each other, Edwards said. I dont feel like I am where I want to be defensively. I am working toward being back to an all-around type of guy. I didnt have the start to the season that I wanted, but its still a long season.Edwards (11.6 points and 5.2 rebounds) was the difference-maker against Notre Dame and hopes to fill that role again against Western Illinois.Against Notre Dame, I was just trying to light a spark, Edwards said. We always knew we were a capable team. The performance against Notre Dame speaks for itself.And according to coach Matt Painter, Edwards recent effort since losing his starting job also speaks for itself.We need to have Vince Edwards on the floor, Painter said. Vince probably was the key to the Notre Dame game. Swanigan had huge numbers, but to have a guy come in and have that kind of energy and get offensive rebounds like Vince did is great.Vince was driving the basketball and passing the basketball. He is just a good all-around player. He has been very good the last four games, and each game has been different. One game, he had eight assists, and the next game he had 18 points on only a handful of shots.For Western Illinois coach Billy Wright, continued big numbers from Gilbeck and Miklusak would be nice.Saturdays win reassures what we have been working on since summer and fall workouts, Wright said. It all came together against Milwaukee.Now, we move on to (Purdue), and the key thing we talked about in the summer was consistency and sustainability. We just need to be consistent and sustain.Purdue center Isaac Haas (14 points and five rebounds a game) said the Boilermakers are a confident team heading into their final two nonconference games -- Norfolk State comes to Purdue on Wednesday night -- before opening Big Ten play on Dec. 28 against Iowa.Beating Notre Dame shows that we can go into a neutral site or an away site and win, Haas said. It improves your resume. Louisville and Villanova are good teams, and so is Notre Dame. Against Louisville, I didnt feel like we had the focus that we needed to win.Swanigan, whose 16.8 points and 11.1 rebounds leads Purdue, warns his teammates to stay focused this week against two opponents the Boilermakers should beat.We cant drop one of these next two, Swanigan said. We need to keep the ball rolling on into the Iowa game.Purdue continues to play without fifth-year graduate transfer reserve point guard Spike Albrecht, who is receiving treatment for lower back pain. Painter said Albrecht is out indefinitely. Nike Air Max 90 Bianche Sconti . Just not the game.

FRANKFURT, Germany -- Lionel Messi is back, and thats the best news Barcelona could have ahead of its Champions League match at Celtic.Messi practiced with the team on Monday, after missing the match against Malaga in the Spanish league because of illness. With Luis Suarez also absent through suspension, Barcelona could not manage more than a 0-0 draw. Both forwards will be in squad to face Celtic on Wednesday.What Messi means for Barcelona is easy to see just by looking at numbers, even without considering the inspirational things he can do on the field.Messi had hat tricks against Celtic and Manchester City in earlier Group C matches and has a total of 90 Champions League goals, including seven hat tricks.Perhaps surprisingly, Barcelona still has not sealed a spot in the last 16, but could do it with one match to spare. With nine points, Barcelona needs a win or a draw to advance, depending on other results.After winning 7-0 at home against Celtic, Barcelona may have the mental edge. But Celtic will have something to prove after its biggest European defeat.---GROUP AFirst place in the group is the prize when Arsenal hosts Paris Saint-Germain in a meeting between the top two.Both teams have 10 points and are guaranteed to advance to the knockout stage, but still to be determined is which club finishes at the top -- most likely earning an easier game in the last 16.They drew 1-1 in Paris, so the winner in the return match in London will secure first place based on their head-to-head record.Ludogorets Razgrad is at home against FC Basel in the groups other game.---GROUP BThe group is still wide open and even last-place Dynamo Kiev can advance to the last 16, although it has only one point ahead of visiting Napoli.Napolis campaign has stalled with one point from the last two matches. But the Italian side will advance wiith a win, provided Benfica also wins.ddddddddddddBenfica leads the group with seven points and visits Besiktas, which has six. Benfica goes through with a win. Besiktas advances if it wins and Napoli doesnt.Dynamo can only stay in contention with a win and Besiktas fails to do so. Otherwise, Dynamo cannot finish higher than fourth.---GROUP CYaya Toure inspired City to a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday, but the former Ivory Coast midfielder will be back out of the team against Borussia Moenchengladbach because he is not a member of Citys Champions League squad for the group stage.Ilkay Gundogan is likely replace Toure in midfield after the Germany international was rested over the weekend, along with John Stones and David Silva.City only needs a draw to progress, provided Celtic doesnt beat Barcelona. Celtic stays in contention with a win, as long as City fails to take three points. Moenchengladbach needs to win to retain a chance of reaching the knockout stage for the first time.---GROUP DAtletico Madrid and Bayern Munich are through and Atletico will take first place in the group if it beats PSV Eindhoven at home and Bayern draws or loses in Rostov.Atletico has beaten Bayern and has 12 points, while Bayern has nine.Bayern slumped to its first Bundesliga defeat at Borussia Dortmund over the weekend o has a calf injury.
