This team has the potential to be considered one of the greats in Purdue basketball history. The offensive talent is undeniable, and occasionally, overwhelming for even the best teams. When things go well, they can bury teams with a 5 minute 2nd half run and keep them buried with a brutally efficient offense. Sometimes, unfortunately, those runs don’t happen. Michigan State decided to play Purdue straight up in the post, stick to spot up shooters, play the long game, and try and beat them down the stretch.
That looks to be the formula to beat Purdue.
