Biggest game since 2010.
My expectations are how they've been every game in the tournament, which is expecting a loss, but hoping otherwise.
Here is a LONG analysis of the game, but the telling stat lies here:
Purdue has played 36 games this year. In 28 of them, they turned it over on fewer than 20% of their possessions. They went 28-0. In eight, they turned it over on more than 20%. They went 4-4. When Smith/Loyer/Jones have been really, truly hassled, it's stunted Purdue's offense immensely. That matters more to me than Edey does in a vacuum.
The great quote from Dumb an Dumber fits here, "So, you're telling me there's a chance!"
