#12 Purdue @ #1 an Ohio State University tonight!
Can Purdue win? Absolutely! Will they win? Well, that's why they play the game.
The key matchup according to the media is 6' 9" Fr. J. Sullinger of aOSU vs. 6' 10" Sr. J. Johnson. Both lead their teams in scoring and rebounding. Both are the top candidates for Big Ten player of the year. Each have a lot to prove about being the dominant post player of the year...
BUT...I'm going with the guards. I think that Sullinger and JJ will both play well, and thus negate each other. The key is going to be Etwuan Moore and Purdue's defense vs. Lighty and Buford. If Threetwuan Moore continues to play like he did vs. MSU and Purdue's guards are able to deny the aOSU guards entry passes, it will be a long frustrating night for the school that pays their players...umm...I mean aOSU. If Purdue is not able to deny Sullinger the ball, it will be the beginning of a long, terrible darkness over the Big Ten as Sullinger's game will open up aOSU's long game, spelling certain doom for the forces of good.
I don't think it will go like that, though. I think it will be a hard fought game going down to the wire. Threetwuan Moore hits the game winning three.
Purdue 71
aOSU 69
P.S. Look for Seth Davis to still say Purdue is not good after the win.

Wow, my analysis was right on...
Unfortunately, Matt Painter's wasn't. His attempts at double-teaming Sullinger led to an early catastrophic collapse. Lighty, Craft, and Buford killed us.
Back to the drawing board, Matty.
