Very nice approach my friend! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with our posters and viewers. A key for me is the poor shooting of the Boilermakers which seems to be a consistent problem. Looking for this one to be close as Purdue won an earlier meeting 58-56 on the road but has digressed since while the Wildcats have shown improvement of late. Best of luck to you today! :toast:
NW is 15-8 5-6 Conference winning 3 while Purdue is 15-9 5-6 conference losing 2 and 4 of 5 overall OMT. NW's Shuma is the Big Ten leading scorer averaging 19.5 per game. Purdue's Hummel is not far behing however. Where Purdue is strong is fewest turnovers per game at 8.9, the 2nd in the nation in this stat. NW is only 5-35 at Mackey Arena so the focus today will be NW's abilty in forcing or attempting to force Purdue into a sloppy game that exceeds their turnover margin. NW needs to be under Purdue's turnover stat at the end of the day. A big challenge playing on the road but a very major key to this mathcup from my chair. Look to see today if NW can be under 8 turnovers assuming Purude plays their usual role. Look also to see if NW can indeed produce some Purdue sloppiness resulting in 12 or more. NW under 8 turnovers and Purdue over 12. Regardless of the actual numbers that may be posted at the end of the game, look to see if NW wins the turnover battle.
