Huge game. IMO it's more important than the IU game. We need to string two together and avoid another bad loss to maintain any sense of confidence heading into the postseason. The IU game will be a battle and could go either way, but we need to at least beat Purdue. My sanity requires it.

I would take a 4 point win but i really hope we win by more than that. I want to see the same passion and effort we had in the MSU game, especially on defense.

i wanna see us boxing out and defensive rebounding....that is what will win us the game against IU. Our offense will be fine and usually is unless Burke is on the bench. Our defense isn't even half bad most the time, its the second and third chance points we give up.

Talent wise, Purdue can't hold a candle to Michigan. However, as we all learned against PSU, that doesn't always matter.

Purdue is a darn good rebounding team, but their shooting (especially from outside) is pretty abysmal. As long as they can mitigate the damage on the boards, they SHOULD win.
