The last time these two teams met Purdue struggled in the first half before coming out for a dominant second half behind great performances by Braden Smith, Fletcher Loyer, and of course Zach Edey. That game was played at the Palestra and what can only be described as a hostile crowd. This time Penn State has to play in Mackey Arena. Let’s hope for a similar result.
