If I were in Ohio If definitely be in the house. It needs to be extremely wild in there.

I'm not even worried about this one. I'm really just interested to see what we will do against that brutal match up. Id put money on Edey getting into foul trouble but we'll have it too

I’ll be there, but probably not getting wild like Saturday night. My liver is day-to-day right now.

This is a good barometer to see where we stack up and a very exciting matchup to watch. I have no expectations really, but I do want to see us play them well and keep progressing. We have played much better than I expected this season to be honest and have won some good games, and were right there against some good teams, but Purdue is by far the tallest task we've faced. Would love to see us knock them off from the top, too many memories of them upsetting us in the past.

HOW IT PLAYS OUT
LINE: OSU -1.5, O/U: 141.5
Edey’s size may be too much for an Ohio State team that lacks true big men beyond Key and Okpara, but the Buckeyes have either held their own or got the better of several teams who boasted significant size advantages over them this season. Edey is a different beast, but Ohio State’s dynamic offense should keep them in the game down the stretch for another tight result between these Big Ten foes.

Prediction: Ohio State 72, Purdue 71

I think Okpara is going to have to play a big role in this one in trying to defend Edey...time to see how he stacks up with an elite big, though nobody has really been able to contain Edey this season to my knowledge. Glad this game is in the Schott, would be a huge resume booster if we can pull of the upset.
