Michigan basketball vs. Purdue: Scouting report, prediction

Expect a different-looking Purdue team to visit Crisler Center on Thursday night.

The previous four seasons, Purdue featured a top-25 offense, according to KenPom.com. The Boilermakers have had an abundance of offensive talent recently — particularly the previous two seasons, when point guard Carsen Edwards helped lead the nation's No. 2 offense in 2017-18 and the No. 4 offense in 2018-19.

Edwards is gone, though, to the pros. And Purdue's offense has struggled in his absence; witness the Boilermakers' 37-point output against Illinois on Sunday

The Boilermakers are still finding their way, with a 9-6 record that includes a pair of tough losses, to Texas at home and Nebraska on the road.
