#15 Purdue v Indiana

Purdue is looking to make it 3 straight in Bloomington 

Purdue had an ugly win against Penn St on Saturday, but Purdue will need to fix their problems when the head down south to play against IU.

Indiana v #15 Purdue 

IU is averaging 71 PPG on offense. Their top scorers are Romeo Langford (17 PPG), and Juwan Morgan (15 PPG). They are a pretty solid shooting team, averaging 47% from the floor, Justin Smith (51%) and Morgan (57%) dominating inside. They don't however, have a strong presence from deep as they average just 32%. Their only "real" threat is Aljami Durham at 41%, and their second best are Morgan and Rob Phinisee, both at 34%. Their defense on the other hand, hold teams to 67 PPG, while forcing 13 turnovers, and also committing 13 turnovers.

Purdue is averaging 78 PPG on offense. Their top scorers are Carsen Edwards (24 PPG), and Ryan Cline (12 PPG). Purdue is a good shooting team, averaging 45% from the floor, with a strong inside presence from Matt Haarms (62%), Trevion Williams (60%), and Grady Eifert (52%). Purdue can also shoot the three on any given day as they average 38% from behind the arch. Their go-to guys are Ryan Cline (43%), Grady Eifert (41%), and Carsen Edwards (38%). On defense, the Boilermaker's hold teams to 68 PPG, and force 14 turnovers while only committing 11.

IU has basically given up, as they have lost 10 of their last 11 with their recent win was at MSU. But just because IU has appeared to have given up, doesn't mean that we can't take them lightly. Purdue has the strength of shooting from deep, and have the interior presence of Haarms and Trevion, But IU also has Juwan Morgan, Justin Smith, and De'Ron Davis (63%) who can challenge the boilers inside. I say that this will be a close battle up until the mid portion of the second half where Purdue will pull away. Purdue
