Purdue vs. Iowa a Battle at Mackey - Open Thread

Can Purdue bounce back after their second loss of the season?

NCAA Basketball: Iowa at Ohio State Joseph Maiorana-USA TODAY Sports

After suffering their second loss of the season Purdue returns home to Mackey Arena where they will face the Iowa Hawkeyes at 7:00 PM. How this young team will respond is what I’m most interested to watch. The Rutgers game was a last second, one point loss, the loss to IU was because Purdue simply came out flat in the first 20 minutes. It was just a different type of loss. Responding will be so important tonight.
