This is the big one.
With 8 games left in the season Purdue trails Maryland and Wisconsin by two games in the loss column thanks to dick-tripping at Iowa and Nebraska. The Terrapins have also lost to Nebraska, but since then they are the hottest team in the league with seven straight wins. Purdue needs to win out and have both the Badgers and Terps each lose twice. Of those four required losses, one will come on February 22nd when Maryland goes to Madison. The second can come tomorrow.
That’s what makes this game so huge.
