Purdue v. Michigan Game Thread

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

The Boilers come into Crisler Arena this afternoon on a six-game conference winning streak to take on the Wolverines in the only scheduled meeting this year. Tip coming up shortly on ESPN2, although it looks like the VCU/Rhode Island game will run long...big surprise, there.

It's senior day for Michigan, and they have been surging of late. The Boilers are looking to stay atop the conference standings, but it will be a tall order to come out with a victory. Michigan has the potential to light it up from outside, and Derrick Walton, Jr. will be a challenging match-up for the Boilers in his final home game.

Michigan will have its hands full dealing with Purdue's front-court. If Purdue can defend the three-point line effectively and contain Walton while limiting the turnovers, I like the Boilers chances. Three games left in the regular season. Let's see if the Boilers can finish strong.

Boiler up, my friends.

Huge game today as 4 of the 5 teams ranked ahead of us have good chances of taking a loss this week.
