Wisky/Purdue

[TKE683]

Everyone is on Purdue.
First sign to run the other way, unranked favored over a ranked team.
Home court in big ten is huge over the years, and Wisconsin has one of the more incredible home court records as of late.
It is tough to take Wisconsin, but I think I have to.
Purdue has not been on the road much this year, they lost to Penn State, barely got by Northwestern and beat a Minnesota team that was ice cold, 3-19 on 3's.

I like Purdue. I dont really care who everyone is on, it does not impact the play on the court and the fact that Purdue is the much more athletic team, and as explosive offensively as the big 10 gets.

Hard to get past 1 key stat. They are dead even on offense, but Purdue holds teams to 35.6% shooting, Wisky "holds" teams to 43%.

And the Purdue loss to Penn st. was without kramer and hummell i believe.

Home court certainly helps wisky, but in the big 10 id actually rather back this purdue team as a small road dog than have to lay 7 or 8 points at home.

The better team will win and this has been what has happened 85% of the season

Purdue leads the nation in FG defense and Wisconsin offense has no explosive players. Penn St. is alot better than people think and both Hummel/Kramer were out that game. Minnesota won at Wisconsin as they choked down the stretch and Purdue dominated Minnesota on the road. Minnesota was ice cold from 3 because of Purdue's defense. Johnson has really played well lately and dominated Wisconsin scoring 20 points with 10 rebounds. Even with Moore shooting 1-12 and Hummel 5-12 they still won easily 65-52 as they held Wisconsin to 37.5% shooting with Krabbenhoft going 6-7 so without him they would have lost by 20 points.

Don't buy the "trap" factor and go with the better team.

Very valid points all the way around. I love Bo Ryan as a coach, but Wisky is just not playing like most of his teams have. May not be sold on his style of play,as it is ugly & not all kids buy into defensive ball.

I actually like Wisconsin here, If Travon Hughes can get it going this team can roll...........Still have some other players in Landry, Bohannon and Krabbenhoft......Will C tho I wanna look at it.....Im not too impressed with Purdue right now but they seem to be getting better
