Purdue at Ohio State, 2/7...Thoughts?

• holdingout

  Buckeyes need to keep rolling. Purdue having a difficult season. Matta and the boys need to put them away early.
• vball10set

  With it being at VCA and the Buckeyes playing pretty well right now, I'll say OSU by 18 (with WB having a huge night)
• centralbucksfan

  No team has been within 15pts of OSU at home this year. That trend should continue with this game. 78-61 OSU. Just hoping they don't have a bit of a letdown between the Wisky game and MSU coming to town Sat. nite.

  Purdue just got smoked by IU at home. It's in Columbus. This won't be as close as the UM game...

  Exactly.
  
  I don't think that the game should be close in any manner, especially at home. However, this does have the makings of a trap game given Wisky this past weekend and Sparty next weekend. I have faith in Matta to get these guys up for this game and control it from the tip, but there's always that possibility that it'll be closer than it should.
  
  From what I recall of last year, the close games at home weren't the Wisconsin and Purdue, but instead, Minnesota and Penn State. Always something you gotta keep in mind.

  I didn't even watch OSU at Illinois because everyone thought it was going to be a blowout. But we should still win this game.

  I'd be surprised if Ohio State won by less than 25.
• thavoice

  Purdue will be PISSED from losing to their rival IU at home and will come out and play one of their best games.
  
  
  OSU 84
  Pur 68

  Right across street from Schott. Directly across Lane Ave. Can get into lot from Woody Hayes Dr. I park there every game. Litterally walk across street. Usually room if you get there at least 20-30 min ahead of tip.
