The classes are pretty much even.

Rivals:
IU- 43
Purdue- 45

247:
IU- 43
Purdue-44

I expect Purdue to have an even better 2019 class to be honest. A full year to recruit these guys. Heck we already have a top 175 player on board which we didn’t have this year.

Hey! I take what I can get.

And you have a top 175 player who grew up a Purdue fan literally in your back yard.
 
You know the deal, folks:

Michigan -1 vs. Northwestern
MSU/Iowa over 154 (not too confident in this one now that I think about it)
 
Oh yea LA and the UCLA name do most of the recruiting. Losing Moses Brown became expected when he didn’t commit early and reports were he wanted Duke or UK but settled on UCLA. The Tyger decision has to really hurt DePaul, they were there from the beginning. From the limited things I read, UCLA was behind DePaul, Purdue and even Maryland.


Heirman is the coach from LaLu who took a job at Depaul.
 
Uh-oh, the last two teams to start the Big Ten at least 12-0 (2004-05 Illinois and 1992-93 IU) suffered their first loss at the hands of Ohio State.

Crazy stat. I’m thinking that for any shot at an upset, Purdue will have to shoot significantly lower than their average percentage. Caleb Wesson will have to have a huge game,and his brother, Andre (replacing Kam Williams) will also have to play a factor. Hey, it’s CBB so anything can happen, but Purdue is just so strong.
 
I think MSU wins. They need to play much better than the IU game though
Wow you're really going out on a limb there. It's fvcking Iowa. Take a shot every time MSU gets an easy transition bucket after inbounding underneath own hoop and you'll be extremely buzzed before you go out on Friday.
 
Thoughts on the big showdown in Iowa CIty tonight?

P.S. Why the hell is this game on ESPN?
I think Izzo might want to be careful playing guys heavy minutes. Don't want their arms tired Saturday after shooting all those open jumpers tonight.

Bohannon who also has the flu is a game time decision starter. he came down with the flu on Thursday.

Dailey may get his 1st start tonight if Bohannon is not good to go.
 
This is the 2nd time Beleins seen this junk zone. Hes now had film and plenty of time to prepare for it and show his players how to run action to explpit it. Would not think this defense will end well vs Belein tonight. Already 10-1
 
Miles gets hammered, no call. Jackson lightly bumps an Iow a player, foul
 
Izzo, c’mon.
Goins, Schilling, and Tum should never, ever be in together. 3 players that can’t create there own shot
