Saturday's game with Youngstown State ends a stretch of four games in eight days. Purdue likely won't face such a stretch again until March, where it could play Friday, Sunday, Thursday, Saturday in the first four rounds of the NCAA Tournament. Sure, the competition would be tougher than this four game stretch, but just close your eyes and imagine that as a week of much better Purdue basketball.
This also marks what should be the final tune-up game before the season gets serious. After this, Purdue has two tricky games against Butler and Vanderbilt before the 18-game war (well, 17 since we do play Rutgers once) that is Big Ten play.
