FanDuel has caught up to Purdue player totals. They got TKR and Smith tonight at 15.5, Loyer at 14.5. Going to steer clear, maybe put a small amount on over Fletcher’s total, as for the game this will be a tough one to win, just going to watch and hopefully see Purdue play well, if they do they can win this.

Has anyone watched them much yet? I haven't other than the final minute against Maryland the other day. Kam Jones is obviously a beast, but what else is still there from last year?
Missing Ighordaro and the PG (Kovak or something?) But their starting 5 of Kam Jones, Stevie Mitchell, Chase Ross, David Joplin, and Ben Gold were all major contributors last year.
They have 4 bench guys; 2 sophomore guards who didn't play/contribute much last year and aren't doing much this year, and 2 freshmen forwards (not sure how they play) but one is 6'9" 250 so I assume is more of a post guy than wing but the other one, Parham, was 2-3 from 3 against Maryland.
They haven't shot well from 3 so far this season, barely over 30% for the year, 253rd in the country. Purdue is 6th in 3pt % at 46% as a team.
well, if this was four years ago, we all know would happen tonight ... This year, I have far more confidence.
Kolek.
Yeah, Mitchell is pretty good from what I remember last year. I don't know, I'm feeling pretty good about this one.
So you’re saying they are going to look like the Golden State Warriors against us from 3?
If we handle the pressure and don’t turn it over a lot I think our chances for a W are good. They’re not strong underneath so rebounding should be more competitive for us and TKR just might eat! Want to see our D by committee on Jones and see if we can slow him down and make his life difficult like they did Sears.
It'll be a good road test. Looking forward to it. I have a feeling Purdue is going to take a few lumps somewhere in the non-conference schedule. I won't be upset when it happens. I just want to see the team keep gelling for the conference race.
