Scouting Purdue

The Boilermakers come into Tuesday’s game with a 22-7 record and a 10-6 Big Ten mark and are challenging for a double-bye in next week’s Big Ten Tournament. Purdue, which returned four starters and 11 letterwinners from a team that went 21-13 before losing to Cincinnati in the second round of the 2015 NCAA Tournament. The Boilermakers opened the season with 11 straight wins and were ranked as high as ninth in the country in December and have remained in the polls throughout the year.

 

Coach Matt Painter’s team has been one of the Big Ten’s best defensive teams, holding opponents to 39 percent shooting, including just 31 percent from 3-point range. Purdue is among the national rebounding leaders with a +11.2 rebounding margin. In Big Ten play, Purdue has been outstanding at home, going 7-1, but is just 3-5 away from Mackey Arena.

 

Purdue’s strength is its frontcourt with the duo of A.J. Hammons (14.7 ppg, 7.9 rpg) and Caleb Swanigan (9.9 ppg, 8.4 rpg), as the pair ranks among the Big Ten rebounding leaders. In all, nine players average at least five points per game. In addition, 7-foot-2 sophomore Isaac Hass comes off the bench and adds 10 points and 4.0 rebounds per game.

I don't like this line tonight...-3.5

 

If there is one thing I have learned with all of the bad bets I have made it is that this looks like the sucker line.

Did Jacobsen lose a bet?

[pigskin barnyard mcgiggles]

Does Purdue have a factory on campus producing 7 footers. One after another.

[pigskin barnyard mcgiggles]

Long night coming.

[teachercd]

Cue the...If Miles had two 7 footers and a 5 star freshmen and some good guards that were young but somehow also mature and wise and old...and if NU had a basketball history that was good and if they had been in the conference longer and if...

One thing to keep en eye on -

 

If we lose to Northwestern and Purdue loses to Wisconsin on Sunday - that puts us both as the 11/6 match-up in almost all cases in the conf. tourney.

 

One of us better win on Sunday....
