I like our chances. I somewhat expect that while we may not see a change to the starting lineup, who plays the most minutes will.

Appears to be a game with conflicting styles. They like to get inside, while we like to get up a lot of 3s. Should be a good one!

Slow down the Turtles.....

This is obviously a huge game for Purdue to right the ship somewhat. I'm hoping Carsen Edwards can facilitate at times and get a few more involved in the flow. Take care of the ball and better shot selection, and I like their chances.

Boiler up, my friends.
