A Toughie In Sparty-Ville

Purdue has really had a Murder's Row type of schedule the last few weeks...of course that really is just part of playing in the Big-10.

At Illinois, Wisconsin/Ohio State at Home then Indiana (their biggest Rival) all in a row now followed by a game on ESPN National TV at Michigan State. Wow, that is rough schedule...

But 'ya gotta play 'em so what are you gonna do, huh?! Currently they are a game back of OSU, who is still in first place in the league. They play IU today in Columbus so i would expect them to maintain their league lead no matter what Purdue does today. Of course anything is possible...but Indiana beating Ohio State at Home in Value City Arena? It isn't likely but we can dream!

I think the Boilers can go in there and win but I would expect State to really come out hot today and try to take it to the Boys In Black (BIB) so it's kind of a scary game in my opinion. I love the way Purdue has really come on late in the season, their 2 seniors JuJuan Johnson and E'Twaun Moore have really stepped it up as has Junior Point Guard Lewis Jackson.

It should be one of those tough, B-10 battles in the paint, lead by two very tough Defensive teams. I'm just hoping what we've seen from the Boilers in the last few weeks has been legitimate and they go in there and kick some tail.

Anyway, Go BOILERS! I'm going to be a little busy this afternoon: I am heading out for the swim of a lifetime...
