predictions for tonights big game
- Thread starter Summy1
- Start date
I agree. If this game was a bit later in the season I think we win by that margin. Nova is very good and will push us.
I like having these games though this early on. It prepares you for the tourney.
My prediction: Purdue comes to play and protects their home court with an 88 to 78 win. Swanigan, Edwards, Edwards and Haas all in double figures.
Smotherman will be much needed tonight, especially on defense. (Rebounding and depth/subbing in to refresh starters)
Keys of the game for Purdue will be to rebound, stay out of foul trouble, get other team in foul trouble, control the tempo, hit the mid-range open shot and hit the free throws.....
Going to be a close one with the winner winning by less than 5......
I am a homer so I say Purdue but honestly it is a toss up with them having the experience and us having the home floor advantage.
Purdue needs a quick start to stay in this and keep it close......
I say final score is Purdue 83 Villanova 81.
Boiler Up!

I'm thinking Nova. Hate to say it. But I hope the boys prove me wrong. I hope Basil gives meaningful minutes.
