With Indiana set to travel up to West Lafayette to take on Purdue in the first of two games in the conference’s greatest hoops rivalry, our friends over at our sister site in the SB Nation network, Hammer and Rails, stopped by to talk Boilermaker basketball.
Here’s what they had to say:
Q. I don’t think anybody expected Purdue to be bad or anything this year with Zach Edey departing. What were the expectations heading into the season and how have they changed now?
The expectations were high. Not as high as last year because losing a two time national player of the year is gonna hurt, but still high.
