Not a game of thrones, not a game of war, a game of opposites, since everything has to be a game of something nowadays.
Seriously though ... polar opposites. Don't know how Purdue is gonna match up on Hartman - I can't believe I'm saying that - and I don't know how Hartman's gonna match up on Hammons/Haas or maybe as we should start calling it, "Haammons."
The uneasy thing around Purdue has to be that IU will play for threes, Purdue for twos and so much more has to fall into place for Purdue to get a good look in the halfcourt than IU will need to get a good look from three. There's so much process involved in halfcourt offense for Purdue and so much room for error because of it.
And Purdue has to, has to, has to rebound. No reason they shouldn't outrebound IU by 10+ if they can get enough stops, but those long rebounds are scary. Guards have to go all out to run those balls down.
