After Indiana upset Purdue in the first meeting, the Big Ten rivals meet for a rematch Saturday. With the Boilermakers at home and looking for revenge, erscimia expects them to slow action vs. the Hoosiers.
The Purdue Boilermakers will try to get revenge for one of their few losses this season when they host the Indiana Hoosiers in a Big Ten showdown on Saturday.
The Hoosiers pulled out the first meeting between these teams in an unexpectedly high-scoring contest. We’ll break down what to expect from the rematch in ourIndiana vs Purdue picks and predictionshas been one of the best teams in the country all year long. The Boilermakers have put together a great season behind an efficient but slow-paced offense that grinds out wins while shutting teams down on the other end.
Edey contributes to the offensive efficiency in two main ways: he shoots 61.9% from the field, and he is the main reason why the Boilermakers are one of the best rebounding teams in the country. Purdue leads the country in total rebounding percentage, snagging 58.5% of all available boards. That made Purdue’s loss to Indiana earlier this month somewhat unusual. The 79-74 game was surprisingly high scoring for a clash between these two teams, both of whom typically play strong defense. Indiana may not be quite at the talent level of the Boilermakers on either end of the court, but the Hoosiers give up an average of just 67.4 points per game themselves.
