Going into Purdue’s rematch, the signs were there. A down year for Michigan State. A double-digit road win against the Spartans already under their belts. Freshly perched on top of the Big 10 standings after a couple surprising outcomes last week. This had all the looks of a trap game, a hiccup, a trip just in front of the finish line.
Instead, Purdue trounced Michigan State
On paper, Purdue just looks too big for Michigan State. On the court, they were just too big for Michigan State. Once again, Haas and Swanigan dominated inside, fouling Nick Ward out in just 12 minutes of action.
