Even though Ohio State is 2-5 in league play, the Buckeyes are still a tough team. Purdue coach Matt Painter talked about what makes the Buckeyes so dangerous.
After a two-game road trip to the West Coast, No. 11 Purdue has a quick turnaround, hosting Ohio State at Mackey Arena on Tuesday. Boilermakers coach Matt Painter says that, despite the Buckeyes' record, he expects a really tough game in West Lafayette.
"They're 2-5 in our league and they're three possessions away from being 5-2. I think you've got to keep that in perspective," Painter said. "The games they've lost, the last one in overtime, and the other ones could have went either way. His physical style of play and ability to knock down shots anywhere on the court could cause some problems for Purdue's defense.
Devin Royal — who missed last week's game against Indiana — is averaging 13.8 points and 7.4 rebounds per game. Mobley is scoring 12.5 per game and Micah Parris is adding 10.5 per contest. In other words, Ohio State has a lot of weapons.
