Nebraska is pretty tough at home - we had better bring our A game! Expect Edey to dominate after taking only 5 shots vs Illinois - that is unless the refs have other ideas.
Purdue -7.5

They have other ideas. Just like end of Illinois game. I feel this boiler team has what it takes to fight through the crap. We have several who need to pick it back up. Get through Nebraska and then we start down 10 against red.
The silver lining of the Northwestern loss is I'm going to guess the team will not overlook a road game against a lower ranked team. Plus we already beat Maryland on the road so hopefully they have that bugaboo lifted.
At least two of Zach's fouls where just dumb on his end. He needs to return to his normal, disciplined self and I expect that he will.
It's about where I expected this number to fall. We've got a considerable advantage inside. They key is containing the dribble drive and staying on Tominaga because he can get really streaky from outside.
Figured it would be 8.5/9 range, bit lower than I thought, little concerning. Game Purdue should win but it won’t be easy.
Before someone else says it...
Purdue wins big if Painter isn't stubborn.

Just want to win by 1. Tomanaga is the most dangerous player in the big ten. He could go to his Curry mode and score 30 or more and Neb win by 10+. Or he couldnt be an efficient chucker and purdue wins by 10+.
Either way Edey needs to watch his fouls and not be aggressive in a bad way. Two of his fouls against Ill were clearly his fault and were fouls.

So who do you think will guard him? Or better yet who would you have Jones guard? Williams? I’m not so sure I wouldn’t want Jones to guard Tominaga because I wouldn’t want Smith chasing him around on defense.
