No. 6 Purdue at Iowa
By Editorial Staff
WHEN: Today, 4 p.m. EST
WHERE: Carver Hawkeye Arena, Iowa City, Iowa
TV: ESPN
RECORDS: Purdue is 25-5, 14-3 Big Ten; Iowa 10-19, 3-14
OF NOTE: Purdue is looking to end the regular season without any bad losses as all five of the teams its been beaten by are in the NCAA Tournament picture. The Boilers are coming off a 75-67 win against Illinois and are looking for their eighth straight win while the hopes of a Big Ten title still remain. If Purdue takes care of business, it has to cheer for Wisconsin to win in Columbus against Ohio State on Sunday for a share of the Big Ten title. JaJuan Johnson and E’Twaun Moore have never lost in seven games against Iowa in their careers. Iowa is riding a six-game losing streak.
PREDICTIONS: Purdue 72, Iowa 58 (Bridges).
Purdue 75, Iowa 60 (Nielsen): Purdue’s last regular season game of the year and they can get a share of the Big Ten Title. Motivation shouldn’t be an issue. Iowa has shown some signs of life this year such as the dismantling of Michigan State in Carver Hawkeye Arena….but they are still flip flopping with IU for last place in the Big Ten. Obvious choice here.
Purdue 72, Iowa 50 (Langdon): It’s never close as JaJuan Johnson drops 25.
Purdue 71, Iowa 55 (Nyatawa).
