We have a advantage over everyone on the inside with Edey how the outside game is going will determine our winsI think we match up well. Should have a slight advantage inside with Edey.
Game in Indy will be crazy as I can't recall a time before where #1 vs. #2 was played so early in the season.
They still have the big foreign guy inside ?I think we match up well. Should have a slight advantage inside with Edey.

They still have the big foreign guy inside ?
They have a decent 7 foot freshman off the bench who they can throw at edey if Ballo goes outThey still have the big foreign guy inside ?
Im excited to see how we guard them and if we can be efficient on offense vs their size and athleticismThey’re very good: athletic, well-balanced, well-coached, with great size. This will be a great test. Purdue is also very good.
I was thinking of Tubelis. He’s playing pro ball overseas according to google.Oumar Ballo, yes. All five starters in double figures against Michigan State, who played them tough right before Thanksgiving after getting down big in the first half. Michigan State didn't shoot well enough and gave up some critical second chance scores from the part I saw. Was an entertaining contest.
It should be another battle. Caleb Love (transfer from North Carolina) will be a tough cover, especially if he is hitting from deep. Definitely the type of team Purdue could see IF it were playing the second week in the tournament......but, that's a long long way down the road.
And they should be our focus!Not known for 3pt shooting but good guards who can penetrate and hit on the midrange.
Ballo is a solid big but not near the level of Zach. Will be curious how he adjusts to playing against him.
We will need to limit penetration and slow down the tempo.
Don’t forget we also have Northwestern, Iowa and Alabama before we play Arizona.
Same. One game at a time.And they should be our focus!

Pretty much, but have you seen how big this team is? I did see where thankfully most of their bigs don't log enough minutes. But they have four 7 ft or bigger.We have a advantage over everyone on the inside with Edey how the outside game is going will determine our wins
Same. One game at a time.
Northwestern is always tough at home and on a Friday night - makes me a little nervous.
Iowa - they have some solid freshmen players to compliment their returning players. Their only downside is Fran is their coach. Perhaps once all his kids have used their college eligibility Iowa will consider a change.
And as long as Collins doesn't try and grab Fletcher again like last year. Still can't believe after the videos showed him clearly interfering with the game and a player that there was 0 public reprimanding for that.NW should make anyone a bit nervous. Between their home court, the possibility of bad B10 refs, and their ability to shoot the 3 when they get going, and it can be a potential loss. Be a nice test for our emerging D though, put a major damper on their 3's and they lose easily like they did vs. Miss. State.

Or a call on the bench?
I am sure most of our B10 refs are great people and of unapproachable character. But given B10 history I have watched, there have been more than a few head scratching crucial moments, that would at least make one wonder if perhaps one or two aren't on the take? But maybe I watch too many cop/crook shows...lol.
Well they are good. Long, athletic, quick. Will be a good test for our 1-3 positionsHavent watched them much but i remember Caleb Love chucking a lot of shots and questionable decision making at UNC. Probably get him rattled and it will help a lot

Buck, I see the same. First it was the NFL and how obvious to me the game was being controlled by someone other than the two teams playing the game. The Big ten games are managed to the spread in my opinion. Makes my head explode because it fears me to think it's bad enough to make me leave the game I hold the closest.Or a call on the bench?
