I admit, I don't know a lot about them. What I do know is that, at least according to my Purdue friend, that they don't do well against good, athletic guards. They have a big center, Haas, who is 7'2" and near 300 lbs. He is not very athletic though - at least for a high major program. Not sure how we match up with him but I see he averages less than a block per game which doesn't make me afraid yet. I am more worried about Caleb Swanigan - 6'9" and 250 - averaging 18.5 points and 12.6 rebounds per game. Seems like he would be the key for us to stop.

Anybody have good insight into Purdue?




By the way, it's pretty funny reading the Purdue forums. There are a few Iowa fans basking in the glory of Iowa beating ISU earlier this year. It's kind of funny how they think ISU is the exact same team back then as the team that's won 11 of their last 13 games.

I think they are a good match up for us.if we can get out into transition at all I think we can win. They are very big, but pretty slow. The giant guy, Haas is a huge stiff . Swannigan is really good, no doubt a top 10 NBA draft pick. He will get his points and rebounds. The key will to shut the others down. I think we will Have a huge advantage in guard court. Probably need to hit threes to win. They shoot the three fairly well, but not a lot of quickness. Clones 83, purdue 76.
