Michigan State at Purdue - Open Thread

Can Purdue go 2-0 against the Spartans?

NCAA Basketball: Purdue at Michigan Rick Osentoski-USA TODAY Sports

Michigan State returns to Mackey arena today just after noon. This will be the second meeting between these teams after Purdue won the first one in East Lansing. Big matchup for Purdue and you can tell that’s true because of special jerseys and also it’s a t-shirt game. While some (myself included) might question the wisdom of a white t-shirt against a team with a chant that includes GO WHITE I’ll hope for the best.

#1 Purdue (20-1, 9-1 Big 10) vs. Michigan State (14-7, 6-4 Big 10)

Im hoping that the extra juice from The Paint Crew seeing their #1 ranked Boilermakers and the enthusiasm from the special jerseys carries over into a resounding victory. With so many ranked teams losing this weekend, it really gives Purdue a shot to silence the critics who question if they truly deserve the #1 ranking.
