Purdue -5.5

[SaratogaBoiler1]

Illinois -5.5 and Ohio State -1.5. There is an excellent chance we are back in first place by Sunday evening!

I know Mackey is a big advantage but that's a big number. Wisconsin's offense is scary.

Losing at home vs Wisky could really spiral their season down, with tough to win road games vs Sparty and IU immediately following.

I think this team comes out pissed off and proves a point. We have shown the ability to bounce back after loses.

Need TKR to step up and stop with the stupid fouls.

Colvin/Heide - figure out this slump or give Waddell a chance. Those two need to see some shots drop and figure out ways to contribute with points.

Anyone from the bench to contribute in the scoring column. Can’t have them serving up 0s

Pretty much exactly what Torvik has (76-71), 69% probability of a win for you guys.

While UW is usually fairly good at protecting the ball, I expect you guys to have some success in that area. Other teams that concentrate on turning you over - namely, Marquette, UCLA, and Maryland - all were able to turn UW over. Those were all Ls for us (also all on the road, as is tomorrow). We don't start any true PGs (McGee is a PG, but 6th man).

We don't win in Mackey. Oh, there's some reason for hope, but we all kinda know what's likely to happen.

One thing I forget about playing Wisconsin - is they will play aggressive and force the refs to call everything. Curious what refs we get.

Matchups will be very interesting.

I’m thinking CJ on tonje and Braden on Blackwell?

TKR and Furst need to control the paint

I know klesmitt hasn’t shot it well, but I expect him to figure it out for one game tomorrow.

Their bench is decent but there is a drop off. Although, McGee is shooting it at such a high % from 3, he needs to be studied. Shot 27% from 3 and now is shooting double that. Crazy.

I expect to be high scoring.

Don't want Braden picking up any cheap fouls early, so maybe put him on Klesmit to start off to protect him? Tonje is one of those crafty 25 y/o sixth years and seeks contact on drives.

Cox will pressure whoever brings the ball up, so assuming he gets Blackwell.

I think coming off of a loss and it being a home game against ranked team will put the odds in Purdue’s favor. Wisconsin should get Purdue’s best shot in a rocking environment.

IF Purdue plays like they did against Michigan for stretches Wisky is good enough to win. Need the role guys to step up.
