Purdue heads to Northwestern to hopefully right the ship after another loss, this one to Ohio State. Purdue has struggled to stop anyone from getting to the rim and when they have stopped people from getting to the rim they’ve allowed opponents to shoot roughly 75% from three (someone might have to check my facts there). Then, when they got stops on the defensive end they have not been able to string together good offensive possessions. Purdue has had a number of cold streaks lasting 3+ minutes without a bucket in recent games. Sometimes, they have more than one such cold streak in a game. That’s no way win to a basketball game. Purdue has a lot to figure out and the Wildcats haven’t exactly impressed this season so maybe it’s a good time to figure some things out? We will find out in just a few hours.
