Who do you think will win tonight? Its kind of a big game for Purdue so they can keep the momentum going?

Purdue 75 OSU 69
 
With the way we played against Illinois, you never know. But this game should be a blowout. As many pundits have pointed out, OSU's 12-7 record is very misleading. This team isn't very good and have just been blown out by Maryland. Purdue should win by 20.

I say 79-59 Purdue.
 
Also, it is fun having a primetime game on ESPN
It's an ESPN double-header in my house (married to a UK grad). Hope the UK-Arkansas game doesn't run long. I know the Cats are worried about getting out of there and home before the snowmaggedan hits, so hopefully one team or the other will dominate and get it over with fast.

Hopefully an Arkansas blowout :)

Ohio State is still loaded with talent and they've had some good games. You don't beat Kentucky by mistake.

That being said, it's a matter of which teams show up for both sides. Does Purdue turnover-prone team show up?

OSU has been embarrassed twice in a row.
Surely they will come to play.
But we should pull it out and win by double digits.

Hope the team is focused.

Kentucky won't even be ranked after this week.
 
I think it will be closer than GBI predicted. OSU is big and athletic.

Purdue keeps OSU at arms length much of the night with a consistent 6-10 point lead. OSU applies pressure down the stretch and makes it closer than we would like. Purdue grabs some big boards and hits their freethrows in the final minute to seal the deal.

70-67 Boilers

Talk about some depressing predictions. You guys realize that Purdue is a 13 pt favorite right? If we don't win big, that'd be upsetting. I like to think of the Illinois game as more of fluke than of a sign of things to come.
 
Sorry, man, not trying to be a negative Nelly. Just trying to be realistic. OSU is still pretty loaded even if they've had a so-so season so far.

Purdue has posted only 2 double-digit victories over OSU in the past 15 years and are a collective 6-24 vs. the Buckeyes during that stretch.

Nothing has come easy for Purdue vs. OSU in a very long time.

games are usually close vs OSU. what is wrong with winning by 7?
 
Purdue 79, OSU 76. Too many TO's keep OSU in the game longer than they should be.
