Purdue has seemingly started to struggle late in the season and have seen their once 4 game lead in the B1G whittled away to just 1 game ahead of Northwestern after dropping three straight road games (Indiana, Northwestern, Maryland). Although still the front runner for National Player of the Year, the gap is certainly closing for Zach Edey as he (and everyone on the team for that matter) has struggled to find consistency and intensity.
Ohio State, since that close loss to Purdue have gone 1-11 and struggled to find any sort of consistency scoring an average of just 64.
